The Prussian Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hi Chris! I read: Meiner lieben Schwärgerin Lisi von ihrem Schwager Karl Seinberger (or Steinberger), Pionier-Leutnant, Res. gewidmet Augsburg, April 1915 herzlichen Gruß In the ranklists I´ve just found a Karl Leinberger from bavarian 1st Pionier-Bataillon. BUT... Leutnant in 1900, Oberleutnant in 1908, Hauptmann in 1914 probably another one... This one wears the uniform of the General-Staff (Pionier-Korps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
