Badisches Lieb-Dragoon Regt 20 Peaked Cap named to a Lt Guilini. He survived the war and is documented as having been awarded the Order of the Zahringen Lion, 2nd Class with Swords.

Luger is a 1910 DWM, unit marked to the 142 R.M.G.77 which was part of the 29th Inf Div, Baden.

The PO-8 holster is pre-war, circ 1910....................

Hi,

is the Haube marked?

Unfortunately the Bavarian is not..........

I meant WASp Amries... your left one and your right one ;-)

I missed that ..the negative aspects of having a mirror display cabinet.

M-95 Pickelhaube, shoulder boards to a Capt 2nd Bavarian Trains Bn, assorted awards.

Luger is not unit marked to a Bavarian unit. It is a 1917 Erfurt, re-conditioned, sear safety added and issued to Schupo Berlin during the Weimar days. I'm presently searching for a Bavarian MG unit marked Luger.

Very nice. I am more into bavarian, but my wifes great Grandfather was in the 182nd and 101st, so a bit of Saxon interest from my side :-)

I'll post what I have Bavarian shortly.

If you look on both sides of the beer mug.... I see 2 Saxon Armies!!! ;-)

Yes, it was also known as the 2nd Div No 24. Werner served during years 1905-1907.

Thanks for the comments. I shall post a few more photos later of it's other items. I could have purchased his boots but I didn't, I should have, I still can, I guess I will. His tschapkas was not available unfortunately.

I thought he was wounded in Belgium....the correction was appreciated.

Page 526, Histories of Two-Hundred Hundred and Fifty-One Divisions of the German Army 1914-1918 ...it attacked north of Ostrolenka and marched to Ossowiec. It remained there until the end of April. Earlier (Feb) the 250th took part in the attack of Mazurian Lakes and took very heavy casualites.

At the time he was wounded he was serving with 4th coy of Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 250

I will try to find out where they were in April 1915 - I know the RIR250 was part of the 75th Reserve Division fighting in Russia but I'm not sure about the exact location.

Hello!! I am one of your newest members and I've come with a deciphering request of a recently acquired Militarpass for the above named soldier. I have special interest with this soldier because I have a 1913 Erfurt Luger with the same unit marked as the last unit Cpl Kunst was assigned to, 2nd Ersatz Machine Gun Company Ninth Army Corps. What info supplied by some and my own guesses, this soldier was born 15 Oct 1894 in Wohlendorf in Lower Saxony, he enlisted on 6.10.14. He was trained and assigned to a MG-08 with a shooting class of 2. He served in Russia and France and was wounded in Belgium and was awarded the wound badge in black. He served in various MG units with a final assignment with the 2.E.M.G.K. IX A.K. He attended the MG Sharpshooter School Kommando West in 3rd training company. He received 65 Reich Marks as mustering out pay.

This Militarpass is a replacement for the original. I have posted what pages have information. Any corrections and further information is greatly appreciated.
