Photo of a private of The Hungarian Gendarmerie, known as the Csendőrs?g.

Peter, your work is absolutely amazing. I've tried it and it is not easy at all. Have you done any German or Austro-Hungarian generals?

Another good reason (as if we need MORE) why people should post normal on-site images?

I can see it but I must say I prefer on-site post so they'll always be there to later viewing. I am still learning how to take pics that are less than 110K and still have detail. I know, it's possible but I'm not that smart.

Here's a know photo of an NCO of LGR100. Schmidt has been transferred to IR101. He looking to be transferred back to LGR100 but someone out there is hording all the enlisted man's 1910 straps for LGR100

Okay Jaba, let us see all your Saxon awards. You've been holding out on us

and the second. A late war award piece.

and the case

Very nice Jaba1914. I love the St henry order. I like the case. It's similar to my case for me Siler St Henry medal

Charles,

The 182nd existed before the war, as it was established in 1912. The only records I know of that exist concerning an enlisted man's unit assignments are those kept in his Milit?rpa?/Soldbuch.

Chris,

The first photo on your website shows your grandfather wearing a prewar Rock from a cyphered regiment and with Einj?hrige Freiwilliger cord. Somehow, this does not make sense with your timeline of his regimental affiliation.

Chip

Hi Chip,

Do you have any photos in your collection of Saxons? I've been searching for all things 100 as you know but now I'm looking for history and photos of regiments 101, 103, 106, 182, and of coarse 100.

Another question. In my search I came across a division named the Franke Division. Does anyone know the history of this unit and what regiments or units made up this division?

Hi,

Nothing on the unit but his photo is here...

I think after he was wounded he went to a landsturm batln for a bit to recover, then to the 101 as a replacement.

I had misread, he did not return to the 182and in the end.

It was 182

Landsturm batln to recover.

182nd EB for 1 month

then to the 101.

Best

Chris

Chris, nice photos

I guess what I'm trying to find out is if officers and NCOs transferred to other regiments and if so are there records? Could an NCO from the 100 be transferred to RIR100 or RIR101 or RIR103 or IR182 or IR482 and so on??? What about transferring to Landwehr units?

Seeing the photos in Rick's ribbon bar section of Saxon NCOs wearing Litzen but in units not authorized to wear litzen confuses me. I guess the photos have writing on the reverse to identify the unit because its not evident in the photos. Would anyone have photos to share?

Just found this at http://www.1914-18.info/erster-weltkrieg.p...&start=1130

Infanterie-Regiment Nr.182

K?niglich S?chsisches 16. Infanterie-Regiment Nr.182

(46.Inf.-Brig./23.Inf.-Div./XII. Armeek./3.Armee)

(Standort: Freiberg)

Kommandeur: Oberst Francke

According to 251 Division book IR182 was in:

23 Division in 1914-1915 Belgium/Marne/Aisne

123 Division in 1915 Champagne/Artois/Flanders/Somme

216 Division in 1916 Galicia-Transylvania/Roumania

212 Division in 1917-1918 Roumania/Ukraine

I guess it was an active regiment since no reference to reserve was mentioned. This regiment move around a bit. I read it took heavy casualyies in Roumania.

What are the chances of an NCO from IR100 transferring to IR182 in 1914-1915?

182nd was a wartime unit.

Rick, was it considered a reserve unit?

My wifes great grandfather was a Lt in the 182nd. He was wounded on the Somme with the regt before transferring to the 101, then later back to the 182.

Chris, that's very interesting. Do you know why he went to the 101 the later back to 182? Do ya have any photos?

Can someone tell me if IR182 was active or reserve? If active, was there a RIR182?

Also, trying to research some of these Saxon Regiments during the war but I'm having a heck of a time determining which units were made up from extras of other units(extra is not the right word). I've read that the 123rd Division was made up from units from the 23rd, 24th, and 34th Divisions. Is it possible that men from the 100th regiment (LGR (100) WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE 182?

I saw a photo a while back that read in the caption Hauptmann Borchet reporting for review to the Kaiser. He was standing in front of armor crews and tanks. Was he one of the first tank commanders?

Does anyone have photos and information on this man?

Hi Charles,

Here is one ribbon bar with EK2, PKO4X and DSWA. Like you can see the crown is on the swords

Christophe

Darn Chris, how many bars do you have!!!

Now the Crimea.

Mike, is that what it looks like? A Commander St Henry! That would fit perfect in my collection. You are right, its most likely a Crimea ribbon. I like your British group. I too have a Crimea pair with a Indian Mutiny in the group. I've collected British awards and still have most.

Chas,

The St Henry ribbon has the narrow light blue on the outer edges of the band. Here's a comparison view of my St Henry and a Crimea medal that I have.

Charles,

Here is a photo of Feldwebel-Leutnant Hans Melzer from GRR Nr. 100. Look at the ribbon bar and the device on the EK2 ribbon.

He received SV4X on 3.09.1916

SA4X ON 24.05.1916

Christophe

Christophe, I really like that photo. I have a Leibgrenadier 100 tunic for an Unteroffizier with Picklehaube and belt with buckle marked to LGR100 or RR100, ??, can't remember. I'd like to have a couple of nice photos of men from this regiment. If Feldwebel-Leutnent Melzer's ribbon bar had a SMK at the end he would have the same bar as mine.

Chas,

That looks like modern made ribbon for the Victorian "Crimea Medal" to me.

Could be Crimean. It's silk so I don't know when silk ribbon making ended. Was it 30-40s?

ribbon!

Here's the first one I got years ago, back in the day I could afford this stuff. Its from Detlev before he became so popular that I can't even get connected to his site on update day. I haven't even tried in 3-4 years.

Here's the second on a replacement ribbon that is period, silk... I don't know if you guys remember years ago when a huge stock on period ribbon was offered on WAF but I got this along with other ribbon. It seems too dark for St Henry to me. If not St Henry what?

Ok, I forgot about this one. This makes two ST Heinrichs in my little collection of imperial stuff. I may not have the nice ribbon bar you have Christophe but I do have the medal
