bolewts58 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The hand-writing is awful. It seems to be a greeting from someone's brother, as far as I can make out. Here's a card I have to the same unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freiwillige Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Here's a portrait of a Schutzdivision member from my collection. It is dated 1921 on reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Brilliant pictures, mates! @ bolewts58: What kind of badge could he wear upon his left arm? His shoulder strap must have a "7". The Schutzdivision had the "2.Eskadron/Freiwilligen Ulanen-Rgt-Nr.7" from Saarbrücken/Tangermünde. It later came to the Reichswehr-Kavallerie-Regiment 25 @ Andrew: The 174 upon his shoulder straps belonged to the Freiwilligen-Inf.Rgt.174 Neuhof (Forbach/Thale). It had two bataillons, who became later the staff/Reichswehr-Schützen-Regiment 50 The Deutsche Schützendivision was set-up from the Generalkommando IV (Magdeburg). It was the 31st Inf.Div. (von der Lippe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
