Dave, I.R. 20 remained with 6. Infanterie-Division until coming under command of 57. Infanterie-Brigade (212. Infanterie-Division)on 10 September 1916. It joined 5. 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, 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

nice shot of Dr. Bruno Türkheimer. He was commissioned as a Veterinär der Reserve on 2.11.15 (without a Patent) whilst serving with Feldluftschiffer-Abteilung 14. Interestingly, though commissioned a couple of months after the September 1915 uniform changes introducing collar Litzen, he is pictured with the earlier collar patches. Listed in the 1928 directory of veterinarians as a vet in Elzach. Regards Glenn

no, an infantry pattern helmet with round front peak as confirmed in the uniform regulations for the officials of the Prussian Army of 5 October 1908. Gold fittings and circular spike base with domed chin scales. Modified by the AKO of 21 March 1910, appendix 2 which stipulated the removal of the Beamten shield on creation of a corps of veterinary officers. Regards Glenn

Dave, I don't think the uniform is of much help being a pretty generic head and shoulders shot (and very faded?) Interestingly, I saw this on ebay.de and the reverse has a pencilled annotation - Saatweber FAR 59. The awards don't appear to match Hptm. Saatweber though and I can't make out an artillery shell on the shoulder board. Regards Glenn
