Great portrait! I can make out: KALAHARI 190 ? I can not read last digit but I guess it's 1908

Hauptmann Hans Mueller (27.01.1900) - 1911 with the 8. Lothringisches IR Nr.159 in Mühlheim

Hi Morten; It is a Zimmermannsaxt for Pioniere. It is used to turn tree trunks into beams or planks for bridges.

Interesting article! Thanks for posting

Gordon, this is not an Ulanka but an Infantrie Litewka from an Officer of the Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr.5 Very nice!

He is a member of 20th battalion of the Landsturm formation from the XVIII. Armee-Corps (Army-Corps-District). The XVIII. Armee-Corps are troops from the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The 20th Battaillon of Landwehr was raised in and around the city of Worms. Forum member Chip, one of the best when it comes to Imperial German Army uniforms and insignia, can probably add more info to this thread. Regards, Hardy .

Absolument mon ami!

Gordon, thank you so much for the interesting contribution! Here is a better scan of Bremer

During a recent trip to Germany I stopped in Lahr and inquired about the Lion monument. Apparently, it (together with the train-station behind) was demolished in the nineteen-seventies to make room for a new street through the city.

Here is an example
