IR 134

Hi Meme, Prior to war XVIII., XX., XXI. and III. Bavarian AK had no own Bekleidungsamt https://www.kaisersbunker.com/ht/stamps.htm, So according to your stamp they where supplied from XIII. AK. An other source I have says, XVIII. AK was supplied from VII., VIII. and XI. AK, which makes more sense since they were the adjacent AK's.

Hi Gunnar. Ernst Johannes Beck, born 27.07.1891 in Neukirchen/Erzgebirge. 1905-1910 in Saxon Kadettenkorps. Then joined the IR 104 as an Fähnrich. His unit at the time of his decoration with Albrechtsorden was Armeeflugpark 2 (Source: MWB Nr. 21 (30. März 1916). Promoted to Oberlt. 21.12.1916. He survived the war and left the Army with the rank of Hauptmann. Regards Stefan

Good evening. Bought this nice photo, taken in Angers, which shows most likely a Colonel of the Gendarmerie, ca. in 1930s. Decorated with an Officier de la Légion d’Honneur and CdG with 4 palmes, 3 stars. I guess identification will be rather difficult, right? Greetings Stefan

Update: I received the following additional information from Feldgrau-Forum The medals are from left to right Medal Militaire Croix de Guerre 14-18 with a "Citation" medal 1870-71 with (volunteer?) Clasp On the far right a shooting clip Below the English Medal de Crimée (Does that mean that he could have participated in the Crimean War as a child?)

Good evening. I was able to acquire this wonderful picture today, although France is not my collecting area. The label on the back reads as follows: "Remembering the Great War of a voluntary zouave from 1870 ..................... from 1914 Volunteer for the East Senior citizen in the French army Class of 1869 Sergent L. Paul. " Are there specialists here in the forum who can give me more details? Especially about his medals? The second in the top row is most likely the Croix de Guerre. Is there a (theoretical) possibility to identify the man on the basis of personnel records? Thank you in advance for any help. Stefan PS: Sorry for the bad quality, I use the seller's photos but will provide an scan of the original as soon as I get it.

One more card. The whole series consists of 6 cards. Extract from Schumacher/Dorsch: A. Paul Weber: Leben und Werk "...Weitere Kontakte folgten, so zum Verlag Fritz Würtz in Berlin-Steglitz, der ein Aquarell Webers (Blick auf Wilna) als Postkarte herausbrachte, und zum Verlag der Wanderschriften-Zentrale, Hellerau bei Dresden, der dem Gedankengut der Jugendbewegung nahe stand. Hier erschienen 1917 die drei sechsteiligen Postkartenserien (Anm. 056) „Deutsches Kriegsziel“, „Heil Stosstrupp“ und „Die deutsche Frau in der Heimarmee“ see http://www.weber-museum.de/bio_dor_schu/bio_dorsch_schu_01.html Gruß Stefan

Jungnickel was in GR 101 the whole war. The action for his HoH-Awarding happened during the Gr0ße Schlacht in Frankreich at the end of march 1918. At that time he was a battallion cdr. in above regiment. PS: sent you a message. Gruß Stefan

Here is a period newspaper article (in german only, I´m sorry) from 1914 about Veit and his unique medal combo in the German Army. It tells among other things that he received the the golden and silver turkish livesaving medal for rescuing drowning people two times in series! Gruß Stefan

Hi. bought this photo of a saxon Hauptmann at the weekend. Clearly visible his shoulderboards with "178" or "179". Dedication reads: "z. Erinnerung an Wurzen August 1917" But his signature is still a misery for me. First I thougt Köhnecke but can´t find nobody on Ranklists or Roth. What are youre clues? Gruß Stefan

He died 1903. Attached his entry from Verlohren This picture of him was sold a couple of years ago on ebay. Gruß Stefan
