IR 134

They do and are still in use by the brandenburg Ministry of the Interior. Sorry but find no proper pictures of it. http://www.mik.brandenburg.de/media_fast/4055/Anfahrt MI.pdf http://www.erstes-garderegiment.de/indexalt.htm The monument itself was blewn up in 1946 as of order of the communist government. As a special act of humiliation it had to be done by former member s of the regiment. http://www.erstes-garderegiment.de/indexalt.htm Gruß Stefan

Good morning. The artist is Kurt/Curt Ziegra, see the signature on the Epp-card. They were part of a series of 7 - 8 cards. Gru´Stefan

Nr. 2: I read "Ltn. Passarge"

In case of Lehmann he isn´t listed in both works unfortunately. I´m sorry. Stresemann was promoted to Fähnrich in 1905 so he probably joined the army that year or 1904. I guess his birthdate between 1882-1885 (+/- 2 years). After the war he staeyd in Leipzig, see the attachment from Leipziger Adreßbuch 1927. He´s listed in the Leipziger Adreß Buch till 1942. In the 1943 edition his trace is lost. In 1939 he was Major (E) 01.04.34 at Stab Wehrmachtfürsorge-u.Versorgungsamt Leipzig, see http://forum.panzer-archiv.de/viewtopic.php?p=202169 Regards Stefan

In that case please find attached a scan from the work of Erhard Roth: "Sächsisches Offizierkorps". I still couldn´t identify his birthplace. Possibly Dresden as a found 2 other saxon officers (former absolvents of the saxon cadet corps) with this name, who were natives of Dresden and maybe brothers (unconfirmed) of Erich. Please let me know if you need more details of his (peacetime) military service. As you may know, Stresemann is a famous name in Germany through the German Weimar Republic Foreign minister Gustav Stresemann which lots of german streets are named. Lots of greetings Stefan

Have you ever heard of the german "Wer ist´s" (Who´s who) encyclopedia and "Kürschners Literaturkalender"? Above all in the latter there should be some information if he was such an productive writer. If not, I can check them later that day as our library at work have these volumes. Regards Stefan

Guy on the right looks like "Antje the walrus", a former mascot of a german TV channel

Nice photo of Vieth v. Golßenau, found here

Hi guys, I´m looking for further informations on this unit. I only know that it was erected in Wehrkreis IV Dresden. Regards Stefan

Maybe not what you're looking for but I have this Franz Eichhorst artist-card from a series of at least 32. You can find most part of the series here. The mentioned Collection Grabenhorst refer to I think Karl G., brother of the author of war-novel "Fahnenjunker Volkenborn", Georg Grabenhorst, who himself served 17/18 in the Marine Infantry as Fähnrich and described his time there. Gruß Stefan

Historische Bildpostkarten - 13.3 Bildpostkarten/Heil Stosstrupp 1917 The artist's signature APW seems to refer to the famous A. Paul Weber though he wasn't a stormtrooper

​ I picked up this card from an auction recently. (NO Ebay) It was written and sent in July 1918 by a member of 10. Bavarian Infantry-Regiment. Greetings Stefan

You can get it as pdf for 5€ here Gruß Stefan

​Here is another one from my collection, written in 1917 from a member of Ersatzbataillon Res.Reg. 119. So it´s clear these cards were sold within the regiment. All cards together form a rhyme: Ufrichtich und gradraus Guatmüatich bis dortnaus Wenns sei muass au saugrob Des isch a Schwob. Gruß Stefan

I´m sure these medals and the way he´s wearing it are some sort of Krieger-Vereins-Abzeichen, maybe "Verein Jäger und Schützen". Their "Vereinsuniform" were nearly identical to their military counterpart. Gruß Stefan

Signature on Besitzzeugnis for Black wound badge is that of the Regiments-Kommandeur Major Georg Werner Johann von Watzdorf (1872-1955)

The signature on 2nd and 3rd Document in your last post dated 6.8.1919 is Major Zanthier. I guess this is Major Hans Christian Heinrich Lätare von Z. (1875-1969), 1918 Commander IR 107 and St. Henry Winner. Before outbreak of war he was at Saxon General-Staff. Gruß Stefan

Maybe we can narrow down the publishing date to an exact year. According to this Website publisher J.J. Samuels existed only from 1907-1908

Hi Mervyn and Tropper, thank you very much for your illustrative answers. Attached a scan of the adress side of both cards. Unfortunately no serial numbers or anything.

Good evening guys, I came across these two cartoons, published by J.J. Samuels, 371 Strand, W.C. Although I´m collecting only German related Cartoons I couldn´t resist to buy these charming cards. Any collector out there who can tell me if there were further cards of this series I have to look for? Gruß Stefan

Hi, I´m looking for further Info´s on this man. Ehrenrangliste: 1914 Hauptmann IR 167, after the war Reichswehr Major at Infantry school. Greetings Stefan

Thank you so far for the answers, much appreciated. To make clear: I´m no specialist in identifying orders. Scherner was only a speculation of mine as he was only one of - I think 2-3- with ÖFJ3 I´ve found in a list I have from Daniel Krause. Meanwhile I doubt this is Scherner. No mention of Bavarian or Anhalt-Awards in Roth, instead he had a Red Cross medal. Anyway, is it possible to identify this guy with this rare combo? Gruß Stefan

Men, I need a little bit help. I have this photo of - what I assume - is a medical officer. Photo not dated or written but concluding from his uniform and the backside of the photo it was taken in France/Belgium, ca. 1916-18 Ordensschnalle: 1. Sachsen Verdienstorden wX- 2. EK2 - 3. Sachsen Dienstauszeichnungskreuz 4. ? 5.? Single orders: Albrechtsorden Offizierskreuz mit Krone und Schwerten EK 1 Österreich Franz-Joseph-Orden Offizierskreuz My idea is maybe Generaloberarzt/Generalarzt Dr. Anton Scherner? Gruß und Dank Stefan ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="495px" height="750px">"> ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="495px" height="750px"> ' alt='' class='ipsImage' >

Meine Herren, attached pic. shows JOHANNES Felix Müller from IR 104 in 1885 as a young Fähnrich at Cassel War school. Sources say, he fell on March 6th 1915 as Oberstleutnant and Cdr.(?) of Ersatz-Regiment-9 (is this Landwehr-Ersatz-Inf.Rgt. 9, then IR 354?) What I´m looking for is his birth-date/place. Maybe someone have a later photo of him Viele Grüße Stefan

Guten morgen, lieber Andreas, that sounds plausible. Hope to get the IR 105-history soon. maybe there is more details. Gruß Stefan
