      Who was Roland? The Knight pictured on the award?

      Once again, mostly officials. As far as I can see, although I have not read it anywhere, the white ribboned crosses seem to be only awarded within the borders of the Reich, to "non-soldiers".... not as is often claimed, to doctors or medics or officers behind the lines in non combat positions.

      Hi, Any idea where this Freikorps served?
    6. Chris Boonzaier
      Why would this one day of fighting merit a badge that could be officially worn? Surely the Bavarian /M?nchen Freikorps had as much claim to "real" fighting?

      The "V" in a circle is a well known Freikorps badge is it not?

      And what is a 3band enfield?

      There was a thread about compasses some time ago... I think the final conclusion was that there were no official German issue compasses in WW1? Or am I thinking of something else?

      Hmmmm... back to this... I dont suppose there is a chance anyone could pinpoint him for 1917-1918?

      I imagine it is a collecting field all on its own. I have always overlooked them as silly little things, but H?sken charges real money for them !!
    15. Chris Boonzaier
      I wonder how he landed up with an Edelweiss... I did not know any guards units wore it?
    16. Chris Boonzaier
      What date would the avove photo be from? I would have thought most J?ger troops would have had the G98...
    17. Chris Boonzaier
      The troops that were rushed to GSWA after the start of the Herero uprising... they were not regular colonial troops... Did they have the same uniform?

      Hi, What is a Wilhelmskreuz with X's ?
    19. Chris Boonzaier
      Any idea of what the shields looked like the Sturm-Abteilung Rohr experimented with in their early days? The ones that were supposed to be carried by assualt troops?
    20. Chris Boonzaier

    23. Chris Boonzaier
      Hi, that looks interesting... can we see some close ups of the blade?
    24. Chris Boonzaier
      Thats like grabbing an unshaved tranny because the real shiela is a few bob more ;-)
    25. Chris Boonzaier
      OK, the Raksch book has one to a Kaufmann... so civilian sector folks are not that unusual.
