The memorial for Ersatz-Reservist Martin Rößle, complete with his Militärverdienstkreuz 3. Klasse

            No correspondence. Photogr. Joseph Hotter, Markt - Oberdorf.

Just shy of his 24th birthday, Ersatz-Reservist Martin Rößle of Königlich Bayerisches 20. Infanterie-Regiment „Prinz Franz“ was felled by shrapnel at Verdun, dying of his wounds on 25.6.1916.  His remains are buried with 7884 other German soldiers in the Kameradengrab at Hautecourt-lès-Broville in north-eastern France.

This splendid memorial covered in flowers, wreaths, and ribbons, was erected in Ersatz-Reservist Rößle's home town of Markt-Oberdorf and if you look closely, you can see his Militärverdienstkreuz 3. Klasse, hanging among the leaves and flowers.

The Military Merit Cross became Bavaria's main decoration for bravery and merit by enlisted soldiers in the Great War.
