These are the women who were Chef’s of regiments. I think this is a pretty complete list from 1913. It was customary for select regiments to appoint an Honorary Chef.  Some regiments had hereditary chefs and others could be a foreign or German royal personage.  Within the Bavarian army, the chef of the regiment was called the “Inhaber.”
