Andreas, at the moment my best guess is Richard v, Schweizerbarth of GR 119. However that does look like 121 on the epaulettes. I will try and see if anyone else is possible. Regards Glenn

Garde-Infanterie-Division on 18 January 1917. It was at Verdun from 13 January to 12 June 1916 according to Günther Voigt's "Deutschlands Heere bis 1918". Regards Glenn

Andreas, Same guy as commander of 4. kavallerie-Brigade. Regards Glenn

Andreas, another great portrait! Major Alfred Passavant of 1. Uhlanen-Regiment around 1876. Regards Glenn

Andreas, I very much agree with Andy. My earliest directory of Stabshoboisten from 1891 already shows him as the Musikmeister of 1. Infanterie-Regiment in München. He had previously served as the Musikmeister in 13. Infanterie-Regiment in Ingoldstadt. Both your photos show him in the pattern of uniform worn between 1898 and 1908. Adolf Felix Fach died on 10 February 1909 in München. Regards Glenn
