I have seen some faces in the history regiment unit but where I don't remember.Very nice photo.

Mike Dwyer Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 nice OZL throat award! on the Grand Duke?The Grand Duke is number 3, the balding fellow kind of in the middle with the large mustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 NO Mike, the Great Duke is Number 2. He never received the PlM.Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Dwyer Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) NO Mike, the Great Duke is Number 2. He never received the PlM.ChristopheSorry about that! First of all I didn't realize that was a PLM, I thought it was a Johanniter cross. The Grand Duke himself looks a lot older that other photos of him that I've seen and I've never seen him with glasses on either, so I was going with number 3 (although his mustache is a bit too small). Also I guess the breast star on number 3 got me confused. The Grand Duke is rather underdressed! Edited January 6, 2009 by Mike Dwyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 ... don't worry Mike - sometimes I'm also confused about the "bearded menfolk"! Best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIR Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 ...thanks Daniel! Felix Hugo Theodor Langer get's his PLM in October 1917, so the picture is before this date!

freiherr Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 ...thanks Daniel! Felix Hugo Theodor Langer get's his PLM in October 1917, so the picture is before this date! (he was the commander of the 28. Inftanterie-Division (XIV.AK)). Great - thanks a lot and best regards, Jens OK took a while. All that wild goose chase with Sachsen units. No 3 was Otto v Garnier. You can see Red Eagle Order breast star in the same position on pocket flap. So why was Garnier there? Between his PLM on 17.10.1916 and Langer's on 08.10.1917, Garnier was Kmdr V Res Korps. Was that part of AOK7? I started off as a Wehrmacht reseracher so I am spoiled with Mehner and Georg Tessin. Soooooooo hard to get a decent OOB at your finger tips.

freiherr Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) /..... Hänisch as XIV Korps Kmdr was too late for the time the pic was taken. Eh... of course I meant Badisch units.

freiherr Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 These pictures were taken in Verdun summer 1917. v Garnier was Kmdr of Maarsgruppe Ost (from V Res Korps, I suppose). It had two Baden divisions under it: 28 Res Div under Alfred Zeithen and 228 ID under Paul v d Heyde ( and 25 Res Div with a Württemberg Gen Alfred Mohn) . I have never seen pictures of Paul Heinrich Sigusmund v d Heyde. But there was a Hermann Heinrich Sigismund v d Heyde that commanded 29 Badische ID. Were they related? The tiny pic I posted may indeed show Paul v d Heyde. So v Garnier was here with Langer who was Kmdr of 28 Badische ID. 28 ID for sure participated in the Verdun Stellungkampfe under Maarsgruppe West (v Francois) and Maarsgruppe Ost.

Deruelle Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi, Very nice photo. too bad I can't read the name of the officier near the Großherzog of Baden. He has probably just received his BV3. His trapezoidal ribbon bar is awesome. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It is possible for you to make cleaner close up of the name please ? For the moment I can't read the name Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
