Count Harrach -- Lt. Von Lobel -- Excellenz Dr. Von Sandt, Civil Governor Belgium (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Art Siegel said:
Max von Sandt (1861-1918) was the head of the civil administration after Germany began its occupation there in 1914 and remained until sent to Warsaw for identical duties in July, 1917, shortly before his death. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Sandt fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_von_Sandt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Governorate_of_Belgium
Art Siegel said:
Count Harrach (I haven't found a source for his full name and there were several Count Harrachs) appears in news accounts and memoirs as either the head of or aide to the head of the occupation government's political section.
He was quoted as being part of an uncooperative group of German officials who blocked efforts to delay the execution of English nurse Edith Cavell, accused of spying in Brussels in October, 1915. He said he only regretted that he lacked "3 or 4 old english women to shoot."
select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50E16F63B5E1173...
In an account by the U.S. Head of Legation to Belgium, Harrach says "The life of one German soldier seems to us much more important than that of all the old English nurses. ..." and then prevents others in the room from showing sympathy when a plea for leniency is made.

There is a memorial to her in London;

and her life inspired the naming of a mountain in Canada in her memory:

Count Von Schwerin - Lowitz, Pres. Prussian House of Deputies (LOC)

Tammo Count Hans Axel von Schwerin-Löwitz (19 May 1847, Löwitz – 4 November 1918) was a German politician and officer. Source: Wikipedia

Art Siegel said:
Where does Tammo fit in his name? It seems to be inconsistently treated in the various wikipedia entries, including de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Graf_von_Schwerin-L%C3%B6witz

He was president of the lower house of the Prussian diet or parliament, the Abgeordnetenhaus, or House of Representatives, from 1913-1918, when it was abolished.

The president of the upper house is in the next picture:

The English wikipedia entry is obviously mistaken, Hans Axel Tammo Graf von Schwerin-Löwitz (short: Hans Graf von Schwerin) is the correct name, see e.g. www.deutsche-biographie.de/xsfz120439.html de.academic.ru/dic.nsf/dewiki/577408 home.foni.net/~adelsforschung/reichss.htm biblioteca.universia.net/html_bura/ficha/params/title/auf...
Art Siegel said:
Thanks. I made that change and a few others in the English Wikipedia entry, but it still needs a lot of work. Some of it reads like a translation of a translation.

Count Benckendorf [i.e., Benckendorff] (LOC)

He certainly looks the part!! A Russian in diplomatic service. . . . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Konstantinovich_Benckendorff
Art Siegel said:
Russian ambassador to England, 1903 to 1917. English Wikipedia uses two f's at the end of his name, but the Russian is "Бенкендорф", with one f, so I don't think LOC needs to change the transcription.
Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks to all of you. The Library of Congress Authority File lists the spelling of the last name with two "f"s, so that's what we'll add to this caption the next time we update.
