Andreas, Oberstlieutenant Hans v. Carlowitz (1849-1904), Kommandeur 1. Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 12 around 1897. Later Kommandeur LGR 100 and Chief of Staff of the Saxon Army. 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

A nice Döbrich-Steglitz plate from the voluminous (1359 pages) history of the German military veterinary service showing uniforms worn in WW1. 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

Andreas, the problem is, is that Max Saatweber had a RAO4 with Crown since 27 January 1910. 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

Dave, is that not an LD1 in 2nd place? Regards Glenn

Chris, certainly looks like him. Regards Glenn

Detlef, a portrait of Oberstleutnant v. Kaisenberg as Kommandeur I./IR 6 in 1931 . Regards Glenn

Amelunxen? Regards Glenn

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

Chris, this from the period publication Feldgrau in Krieg und-Frieden: Regards Glenn

Chris, Stabsveterinär der Landwehr I Dr. Richard Kantorowicz of Landwehrbezirk V Berlin Oberveterinär d.L.: 24.7.02 B Stabsveterinär d.L. (ohne Patent): 24.4.15 in Reserve-Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 2 Regards Glenn

Chris, Crimson. Regimental affiliation had no bearing. Regards Glenn

Dave, he is shown as Werner in the 1914 edition of the Reichs-Medizinal-Kalender. Regards Glenn

Hi Andy, at the row of icons under the title of the book is a small pdf icon (under the word Bild). Click on that and that enables a full download. 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

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

Ludendorff was appointed regimental commander of FR 39 on 27 January 1913 as gazetted here. He was replaced by Oberst Walter v. Schonberg on 22 April 1914. White underlay corresponds with the 1915 dress regulations. Regards Glenn

It was 1 November 1917 as seen here in the Militär-Wochenblatt edition number 54 of 1917. Regards Glenn

Perhaps the white of Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 39 of which he was "Chef". Regards Glenn

Ian, another shot of Herr Burg as a Gendarmerielandesdirektor. Regards Glenn

That is the one although I am not looking for it; I managed to buy one years ago. Regards Glenn

David, I own a copy of the 1882 book. I am away from home until the weekend so cannot access it until then but pm me with the guys you are looking for. Regards Glenn
