Peter,

Remember that the Marinekorp Flandern was a multirole organization that included naval, land, and air units.

The doctors referenced on the cup are:

Prof. Dr. Moritz Otto, born October 29, 1869, Marine-Oberstabsarzt der Reserve as of April 16, 1915 — naval doctor equivalent to a Korvettenkapitän, reserve officer. Died on December 13, 1918.

Dr. Karl Wallé, born January 10, 1885, Marine-Oberassistenarzt der Reserve as of October 17, 1915 — naval doctor equivalent to a Oberleutnant zur See and a reserve officer.

So a cup made to remember service together in Flanders in 1915/1916. Given that both doctors remained in Flanders well into 1917, I would suggest that the cup was given to a colleague as he was being assigned elsewhere.

Best wishes.
Michael
