Hi Andy,
I can't be of much help, but Reg. Rat. is short for Regierungs-Rat, which roughly translates to Government Official. I believe this was the equivalent of the rank of Beamter in the Imperial forces of Germany. |

Hi Vt,
Thanks for that, from what you say I would guess that they are probably civilian meteorologists Cheers Andy Fletcher |
