Rességuier de Miremont

[CJE]

Question to Larry or anyone else:

Graf Rességuier de Remiremont

There are two of them :
- Alexander
- Karl
Unfortunately, no date nor place of birth.

Both were posted to I./JG 300 (or JG Herrmann), then transfered to I./NJG 5 at the same time.
Not impossible but a strange coincidence.

Were they brothers or were they the same person?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

Maybe from Vosges area ????

[CJE]

Possibly, but one of his ancestors was made Graf in Germany, as Rességuier de Remiremont is not a French nobleman's surname.

Had a brother (and a sister), but data are undisclosed(privacy rules).
Karl seems a bit elusive.

Nice find!
Thanks.

Chris,

I think you didn't get my point: You wrote REMIREMONT for MIREMONT hence my joke with les Vosges.

And, yes, you're wrong, Alexander Graf Rességuier de Miremont comes from an old French noble family; the Austrian branch created (by marriage) during XVIII century.

Dear all,

On the mervellous book JG 300 Vol.1 by J-LY LORANT there are some pictures of that particular airman on I/JG 300.
