Naxos

Very nice, my friend, and well worth the wait!

sounds good!

Here are a couple of pages from a pass of another Jaeger

Chris, that is an interesting Jaeger and I agree with Bernhard on him missing Verdun. He was lucky

Bernhard, how about Rheinisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 8 ?

Nice addition to the thread Larry! Thanks for posting

Leiber Stein?

Fair enough - I forgot your superstition

come-on Chris... tell us

a Kleif or a Wex?

another Saxon option

Thank you Andy! I knew you would have some more info

Thanks Rick - looking forward to that! If you need any details from the pass let me know Hardy

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

Chris, I checked the EKI awarded in SB3 -and there was no Weegmann - Are you sure the document is from SB3?

Very nice, my friend! Hardy

Thanks Eric! I will take better pictures and post them later

from which award roll is the page? He was awarded the 2nd class in 1915 as L.d.R. with the Husaren-Regiment Nr.12

Preussen - Ritter zweiter Abteilung 1915 Stübgen, Leutnant der Reserve im Thüringischen Husaren Regiment Nr.12 - m. Schw. (mit Schwerter)

Love the FO Boyle tribute - incredible!

I agree - Thanks Rick

Unteroffizier Georg Nietz - Toulouse September 1916 - note the PG on the tunic

I thought the same thing. ... but there is more to it. Not only was the hat in Constantinople - It was actually made there. Inside the hat is a makers stamp that reads: Erste Mützenfabrik des Orients mit elektrischem Kraftbetrieb OSTROW Konstantinopol

I recently acquired an Imperial visor hat. When I inspected the hat I found a folded piece of paper inside the sweat band. The paper was folded and inserted in the front of the sweat band to fit the hat better to the head of the wearer. I noticed some writing on it, so I carefully unfolded the paper.
