Very small help for you and Nick I know.

Gentlemen,
although it will bring us no closer to the solution of this thread's issue, the above statment needs clarification - in Germany the wedding ring is usually worn on the right hand ring finger by Protestants, whereas Catholics usually wear it on the left hand ring finger. Protestants in the past often wore their (future) wedding ring on the left hand ring finger during the time between engagement and marriage. Therefore our Leutnant in question may have been a married Catholic or an engaged Protestant.
