Farkas Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Hi Gents This postcard image is dated as 1914 on the grave. Feldposte home stamped 23 November 1916. 185 Infant.Div. stamp and marked by sender as 7 Kompagnie Sent to Fraulein ? Stokle ((...Maria / Muriel? )) and family I think. ((Added as an afterthought)) 2 line address. tony Edit... To me, a 2 line address teases that it is either a small place or a big name ...

ErwinZ Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 A very interesting image. Oberstleutnant Graf Walther Gustav Lothar von Kielmansegg. Kdr. des RIR 222 July 14, 1869, July 28, 1918 (49) Dounai am dem Somme. He was the patron of the prolific german composer Paul Hindemith during the war. Graf von Kielmannsegg was a great music lover and allowed the formation of a string quartet, which he had to play regularly. Hindemith spends most of the day with intensive rehearsals for the quartet and the regimental band. A very interesting image. Oberstleutnant Graf Walther Gustav Lothar von Kielmansegg.

ErwinZ Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 It would be nice if the location can be found of this graveyard near a church. Maybe the date of death gives a clue? Uoffz.Kriegsfr.

GreyC Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi, if the place of death is the same as place of burial, I am unable to say, but all died on the same day at the same place during their fight in the Somme region. Best, GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely, that was the piece I needed. I was searching for an Infantrie reg. but it's from the artillerie. Pesky German fonts In the regimental book there's a whole story on the accident.
