Little up again. Usually indicated the photographer's catalogue number ..;;;; Searching list in relation to number and place where the photo was taken. France or Belgium. Thanks for your help

After extensive research, you're right. "never always believe what is written on the back" My apologies. The 29 S, is well in Somme and not Flanders like written on back. "Gefangene Engländer in Sailly" august 1916. 27 I.D serial. A picture from Englander failed attack on 7 august 1916 All is well and a good thing. Thank you very much for your help.

We are OK, pickelhaube in Flanders 17 ??? No, no I would like to believe you, because It seem you are on the good way..... But you know on the helmet is more a 7 than a 2 but I doubt now ! If 127 IR again in Ypres in mid august 1917. Now if 1916 OK "Somme". Do you have the similar pic of the POW . it will be great. Because If think that you are right. If "Somme" the back of the picture is WRONG....not funny ! You know the serial N° 25 S to me is " Strasse Combles - Guinchy " in Guillemont sector of the 27 ID august 1916. Amazing we have not the same indications ! Thanks for all.

This is a zoom 177 IR on the helmet. From the 32 I.D ID 32 About june relieved and entrained for Flanders.There it went into line near the Ypers-Menin road, Beginning of september it was withdrawn from the Ypers front and sent to rest That, why I say that the back from the pic is mabye correct and this pic was taking in Flanders. To me and Like you, just the "S" serial is difficult to understand. But mabye an other serie of pics in Flanders by the Saxony army !!!! why not ? but for sure amazing to see !

This is the postcard 29 S

Thanks. You are right " S " serial is from Somme and like I said in the post S serial is from 27 I.Division 1 to 65 august-septembre after 65 S more later winter. I'm the same " Schloss Manancourt", 75 S just more later in the same year 1916. But You will see in my next post why the 29 S is mabye in Flanders like is writing on back. Mabye (why not) there different list with S serial...

Okay, but just tell me, why you say that ! Give me some indications ! why 29.S is not Flanders ! Do you have a list ? because before the beginning of my post is what I want. Thanks

this is the back, 29.S "Gefangene Engländer...August 1917 YPERN "

Series " S " of Flanders 29. S

Hi AOK4, Thank you very much for your answer, I apprecied. Yes, that's what I search. List of series but not only about "Somme" but everywhere. There are lots of pictures N° It will be great if you can sending your list via email. List about Flanders. Sometimes there are N° and letter and sometimes just numbers. Tanks too about the site of "Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg" I try to find inside, I tell you and I post if I find. Again, thank you very much for your help. Philippe

Hello SchieBplatmeister, For sure and you are right with the photographer's catalogue number. Thanks You know, for exm: serie "S" it's the 27 I.Division Somme 1916. There are list (from photographer Div. or officier) with names of places or the photo was taken...S 1 = Noreuil, S 2 = road Etricourt-Frégicourt.... I search list like that and not easy to find. Tanks for your answer and your times, Philippe

Little Up. For sure difficult, any help or hints would be realy appreciated. Number on postkarten. Philippe

Hello Tony, Thank you very much for your answer Tony...and your time. Sorry, but it's not aerial photos, it's a photos taken from the Division or man. I put a poskarte for exem. You see the white N° O.25. It's the same like you say about RAF. But for sector and village. Here, easier with the name (Etricourt -Somme) but there are another postkarte from this collection...O26 !!! ; O.27..!!!, O.25 Etricourt, O.24 !! This list are the name where the postkarte are taken. Encore merci pour l'aide, thanks for your help; Philippe

Hello, Sometimes I saw and I have in my collection some photos (not Feldpost) with a white number (ex: S 141; O. 24, etc...) It's certainly for the photograph but I know there is sometimes a list with the number where the photo was taken. In german : Verzeichnis der "Somme"- aufnahmen. Photogr.Abteil. 1918 or 17... Where is it possible to find a list like that ? or is there a member who has one..... Difficult for a collector to put a name to a place.! Thanks for your help and your time. From Belgium, Philippe

Thank you for the photo. For sure, VERY nice, realy. I like it. Congratulations Philippe

For sure Bummer, but I think it's not the same eagle. But it's hot ! and a real enigma !!! Philippe :speechless:

Hi Jens, Oh,oh very small !! and very difficult to say. But, during WW I there are in the Empire only 7officials badges. For Karpathenkorps : Alpen-Korps : Motorradfaher : M.G.scharfscützen : Flammenwerfer and Bayer 1916 Neue Ruszeichnungs. Never see this eagle (so small). But hope someone can help you. I'm very curious. Philippe:beer:

Hello, Yes ! amazing and RARE A realy beautifull buckle. Congrats:beer: The best.

Hi Chrisd, Thank you very much for your answer, very kind. From Belgium Philippe

Hello, I have a quick question I'm hoping some members can help me answer. I saw a pickelhauben with marking R.I.R 60 but the plate helmet does not the cross reservist. Is it OK ? Thank you very much for your answer. Hamburg 76
