    1. Hi, A Hirschfänger is a very traditional hunting knife/Short sword indeed... Many of the "Clamshells" are Hirschfänger... I think for a Jäger Battalion it would be a very logical battalion level award. Best Chris
    2. Party! DJ! Now that sounds like a good weekend!! Babes! Tequila! Party! DJ! Sounds like Spring Break!
    3. Hi, "Lebel Bayonet" is the standard name for these, nicknamed the "Rosalie" by the French soldiers. They were initially designed for the Lebel, but the Berthier 07/15 took them as well. Best Chris
    4. Super quality as usual... Who exactly wore the Haarbusch? Was it all units on special occasions?
    5. Veeeery nice indeed... I have a couple of U-Boot EK1s, but I dont have a group like this!!! Great find indeed!!
    6. Since the Bavarian Jäger Tschako below awakened my interest in the Red Tower Pass I did a small write up about the Infanterie Regiment 187 in Romania. The I.R. 187 had been fighting in the Vogesen before being sent to Romania. HERE Harry has a new bumper article about the Punjabis in Somaliland, making the Kaiserscross the biggest online resource for information about campaigns in Somaliland HERE
    7. Hi, i dont think that is a date, just a coincidence that it looks like it...

    14. Hi, Thanks, here is one of our members great uncles... the info they had is "Max Duttlinger. Killed in the battle of Mont Sorrel on 2 June, 1916." From the lists I see he was Missing in action, I suppose listed as killed at a later date. He was in the 12th Company....
    15. Hi, Does anyone have the History of IR125? Specifically the first week of June 1916, I think they were attacking Hill 60 ? Thanks Chris
