Anyone have a Bavarian Rangliste?

[pjm]

Looking for information, (decorations, exact unit, etc.) about Karl Graf von Hertling, Rittmeister, born 1878. I believe he was in the 2. Chevauleger Regiment. A Bavarian 1914-1918 Rangliste should provide most of what I am looking for.

Any help, citations, photos or links would be greatly appreciated.

You will not find a list of all decorations in a wartime Rangliste. However, his awards are listed in his personnel files. This extract from 1919. From top to bottom.

Prinzregent Luitpold jubilee medal
Military merit order 4th class with swords
Officer's long service decoration 2nd class
Prussian House order of Hohenzollern knights' cross
Prussian iron cross 2nd class
Prussian iron cross 1st class
Austro-Hungarian military merit cross 3rd class with war decoration
Bulgarian officers' cross with war decoration
Turkish iron crescent
Anhalt Friedrich cross.

Excellent! Thanks, Glenn. Does this source list his regimental or other assignments?

Here is the page issued from the Kriegsranglisten.
This guy was in the KB FAR3 (1899), then 1902 to an Artillerie und Ingenieur Schule, 1903 to a Schießlehrkurs, 1905 to an Equitationsanstalt (horse riding school), 1909 to the 4. Chevauleger Regiment, 1910 to the 8. Chevauleger Regiment and to the 2. Schwere Reiter Regiment (for exercises).
He was 1914 mobilized as commander of the I/ 4. Chevauleger Regiment with the rank of Rittmeister.

Thanks to Glennj and Argonne for your assistance!
It seems Graf Karl was rather busy. The entries beyond his extensive combat record are quite exciting as well. In addition to his military exploits on the Eastern and Western fronts, he served in the Foreign Office as adjutant to his father, Graf Georg von Hertling, who was Reichskanzler form November 1917 to September 1918. Especially interesting are the citations for his elevation from "Freiherr" to "Graf" and the information regarding a duty transfer that he does not fulfill because of the "Outbreak of Revolution (Ausbruch der Revolution)" - it's always something, isn't it? The photo shows Karl (wearing his Chevauleger Pickelhaube) assisting his father at the Bavarian king's golden wedding anniversary celebration.
