[dwmosher]

Hello

I am trying to identify the regimental commander for the LG Jaegersky Rgmt at the outset of the war. Also, are there any photos of him available?

Thanks

Dave

Thanks for your response so quickly. Here is the reason for my question. This tunic was aquired without shoulder boards (I have added field grade boards for display). From the piping combination, it was easily identified as an officer with the LG Jaegersky Regiment. Based on the cut and tailoring of the tunic and the additional loops and holes for the medal bar, orders and presumed regimental badge, I feel this gentleman was pretty high up in the pecking order. Could this individual be identified through this information?

Thanks again

Hi Dave,

I am afraid this is impossible.

Nice tunic

Best,
