    1. Look at the dude at the back, who may very well have something to do with where they point that gun.....
    2. Very nice... dont worry, we can turn our necks......
    3. In Zöberleins book he mentions being promised the EK, but then not getting it because some NCOs who were in the field for longer needed it, and were first priority. I did a stat from a pile of books and the average soldier needed 21 months in the field to get one. Best Chris
    4. Thats a nice one... he fought where I take my holidays... a Verdun Guy.... poor Prussian... he only gets an EK2....
    5. Thats a nice one, wounded in one day by artillery geschoss AND an infantry geschoss ? Hows that for luck!! and at Verdun!!! On TOP of that, they were fighting right on Fort Douaumont when he was wounded...
    6. Hi, can anyone say anything about this unit? ThanksChris
    7. Now thats interesting, a POW in a Russian camp from November 1914, then released to a special POW processing unit...
    8. The more Lugers you got... the less smilies you get.... I gotta lotta smilies.....
    9. From Mid 1917 to "tXXhn Abteilung 52"... till the end of the war... i dont get the first word....
    10. What a potentially interesting but totally frustrating document!! Basically it says "he participated in all the battles of the 1st Landwehr Company of the 7th Pionier Battalion....." but I am bggered if I can find any list of their battels, or where they were attached!
    11. Thanks... I found it interesting that he was ordering both silver and grey shoulder boards...
    12. The stamp seems funny.... and last week a collector described basically the same item to me over the phone...but stamped 1918 and with smooth buttons.... For some reason I think a small stock of jackets from XXX have appeared and will be on sale...
