This is an unusual one-a furled ribbon bar, picture taken in early 1918.

[Ulsterman]

This is a later war ribbon bar. Note this man's rank.

This is one of my favorites- "old China hand"Offz. Strlv. Willi Schrod in Soissons, June 20, 1915:

[Ulsterman]

Here is a Saxon survivor of the war-1919/20. Unusual as the early Reichsheer uniform was only around for about a year.

[Ulsterman]

Here is a Bavarian officer @ 1875. Note the straight, flat 'cruder' style of hook on bar.

and then there's the Austrians:

Remarkable photos, Ulsterman. Thanks for posting them.

Can't read the number in #53? Is he a Major or an Oberstleutnant? I suspect the latter (REO4, CO3 I'd say, XXV, 1897) and if you can see what the two digit regimental number is, MAYBE a shot at ID'ing him.

[Ulsterman]

Only 6.18.15 is on the back of #53. I think he is a Major. Sadly, this as well as I can do:

Brian, does that foto show a guy with an ek2 nichtkampfer(1870 I presume) on his ribbon bar and a kampfer (1914) in his button hole????

[Ulsterman]

[attachmentid=54163]Brian what's his rank-Feldwbl Lt?

Doubt very much its an noncom EK2-looks Hohenzollernish to me.

Also: this one:

Thanks very much Brian!
