Wow..... that is a rare photo find! I can count the number of 1813 EK pics I have seen on one hand and still have a couple of fingers left over...

I think I have an EK doc to a bayer-Ehrenberg, The name seems familiar... I must look...

Hi, they were in Flanders at that time, in April the 42nd Diviion was involved at Armentieres, Best Chris

Ahhh... I think you nailed it... I did not think of that.....

That there was an era when Artillery was actually close enough to the front to probably deserve their EK ? :-) ... .... (Did I get it right !?!?!?!?)

Gebirgs MG Abt 209

To the Schneeschuh Ersatz Abteilung

A nice Militärpass....

There must be a lot more to the story than that, I think family Legend involved there... big time.

So the Kaiser hit him with a horses ass? Or maybe a Riding Crop?... but in the Kiser!! confusing career ;-)

Hi Boris, I have no idea if the guy shown is gay or not, and to be honest, where and how someone lays the pipe is not my business.... and I dont see how you can see that on the photo? I posted this because this guy looks like a full on disco Gigolo. And if you google the Spanish Foreign legion... this dude is not exactly the average Legionnaire? His pants that bit tighter, his gold chain, and he spends more time on his beard than the average guy does in the bathroon in a week. I think most Sgts would kick a soldiers ass if he came onto parade wearing a gold chain like Mr-T, and most Sgts would say "You a Gigolo?? Shave that beard off!"

Hi, Nice find.. even if its artillery.... :-)

Would it not be a bit dangerous to damage Govt property in the field?

An interesting article.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25589709

I am really excited about the new stuff this month... http://www.kaiserscross.com/152301.html

Nah, that price is way outa line IMHO. Of course, its all subjective... but I dropped out quite a bit earlier... did not need it thaaaaat bad....

Hi, It is a nice tunic... but not infantry... :-( But better than a kick in the jinglies :-)

Three times....
