    Not much known about these mountain artillery units.

    I have a Militaerpass from a Wachtmeister that served in the Bad.-Gebirgs-Kanonen-Batterie 1 - He fought at the Hartmannsweilerkopf in 1915.

    Transferred to GeBa1 from FAR50 - He was trained on the 7,5 cm Gebirgskanone L14 - was a Zugfuehrer and Feldwebelleutnant.

    Picture of a gun from the Baden GeBa1 in action at the Hartmannsweilerkopf - 1915

    Very nice MP!!!!

    The Gebirgskanonen-Batterien were later unnamed into Gebigs-Batterien.

    The Geb.Kan.Bttr.1 was set-up 12.10.1914 by Stellv. Gen.Kdo. XIV.AK, mobil since 4.1.1915

    6.6.1915 changed into württ. Geb.Btr.Nr.11

    Under command of:

    6.1.15-6.3.15: 51.Ldw.Brig.

    8.3.15-11.4.15: Div. Fuchs

    20.7.15-?: 8.b.Res.Div.

    Here's an example of an enlisted M15 Gebirgs-Artillerie strap. No unit number assigned. Possibly unissued. Often, unit numbers were added later upon assignment from the Ersatz unit.
