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

Austria-Hungary Oberleutnant Franz Troschl of IR.91
Glenn J replied to Iver's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
The elder Franz Troschl is listed in the 1918 Rangliste des k.u.k. Heeres as a Artilleriezeugsverwalter with seniority of 1 November 1916. Regards Glenn -
Dr. Martin was a senior official of the Army Construction Administration (Heeresbauverwaltung). As can be seen from the first page of his Soldbuch, he was promoted to the rank of Heeresbaudirektor (Oberst)on 1.8.41. He had previously held the rank of Oberregierungsbaurat (Oberstleutnant)with seniority of 1.7.37. His entry in the 1939 Rangliste of the Wehrmachtbeamte (Heer) shows him as a Oberregierungsbaurat on the Wehrkreis IX. administration staff. Regards Glenn

With regards to Mörser-Regimenter it appears that the Saxon Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 12 was also accorded this title. In the order of battle of the XVI. Armee-Korps as reproduced in "Die Schlacht bei Longwy", Mörser-Regiment 12 under Oberstleutnant Max Roeßler (II. & III. Bataillon) is shown as attached to the corps. The commander of II./FußAR 12, Major (later char. Oberst a.D. Max Blümner) wrote a book about his experiences as commander of a Mörser-Bataillon and this can be found as a digital copy here: http://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/werkansicht/?PPN=PPN71868642X Interestly, on page 5, the author notes that the General of Foot Artillery of the Metz Fortress pointed out that "it was the first time in the history of war that a horse drawn mortar regiment had deployed into the field" Major Blümner was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Saxon Order of Saint Heinrich on 11 January 1915 and his entry in the history of the award holders shows him as the Kommandeur of II. Batl. K.S. Mörser-Regiment 12. Regards Glenn

Austria-Hungary Mystery Feldjägerbataillon badge
Glenn J replied to Trooper_D's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
Markgraf is correct, K.K. Landwehr-Infanterieregiment Kolomea Nr.36. This from the 1911 K.K. Landwehr dress regulations showing the pattern of cap badge as worn on the hat. The infantry regiments' badge encompassed the regimental number whereas the Tyrolean Landesschützen regiments had the Tyrolean eagle. The Dalmatian Mounted Rifles, the Landwehr cadet school and the Landwehr Arms and Clothing Depots wore the double eagle. Regards Glenn -
