Hello,
The book is an interesting contribution to biography of MvR. It covers a brief history of Ulanen-Regiment Kaiser Alexander III von Rußland (Westpreußichen) Nr 1, a description of Ostrów (previously known as Ostrowo) in pre-war days , Manfred’s first combat sortie at a background of general situation in the first days of the Great War, and gives an explanation of legal subtleties concerning the question – why Manfred's death was registered in Ostrowo. Unfortunately, the book is in Polish.  Regards Marek |
