230818Johann Gottlieb Bohme
German Army 44th Infantry (East Prussian) Regiment
from:Germany
My great grandfather was Johann Gottlieb Bohme who was born on 17th January 1873 in Kienitz, Lebus, Brandenburg, Germany. He died on 31st October 1936. I'd love to learn his journey and what he did in the military and to learn more about him. There is a military background on the German and American sides. I was born in America but all of my family is 100 per cent German, my parents being born in the Berlin blockade just outside where Hitler had his bunker etc. I found this picture of my great grandfather and was hoping someone could tell me more about the 44th Infantry East Prussia. What I know is that his mom was Luise Boehme and that he was born out of wedlock. She married a Bohm who was a locksmith.

In January 2004, his remains along with his identification disc, were recovered from the upcast of the crater by members of the Historical Society of Comines-Warneton. The remains of one of his comrades were also recovered but identification has not been possible.
Julius was was positively identified by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgraberfursorge (the German War Graves Commission) and his family have been informed. Both soldiers were interned at Langemark Cemetary on 10th November 2004.
