I'm looking forward to this book already. Have you read the book "Fighting the Kaisers War The Saxons in Flanders 1914/18"?

It may be worth your while getting in touch with the author Andrew Lucas as I am sure he will have a lot of information that would help in your endeavour.

I have those books and I well know Andrew and Jürgen. Thanks. The most difficult is about iconogrphy.

Hi everybody

Hello everyone
I am planning to write a book about the Saxon officers of the 13th chasseur battalion and its reserve during the Great War.

The book will consist of three parts. The first will deal with the purely historical aspect of the battalion (from its creation in 1809 to 1914), with a particular focus on the 14-18 war.
The second part will deal with the orders of knighthood and medals received by the officers.
The third and final part deals with uniformology.

I'm looking for photos (in very high resolution, minimum 300 dpi) of officers from these units. I'm also looking for photos of uniform parts before and during the war.

The names of those who have helped me will be cited in the book. Some collectors have kindly lent me photos from their collections. I would like to thank them for this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I've left my e-mail address :

Hi everybody

After many years of research, I was able to find this nice photo of Hermann Keil when he was in the Reserve Jäger Bataillon Nr. 13.

Thanks so much, Gentlemen, so the Führerlexikon got it wrong. These dates are just great!!! Sick in hospital? I wonder, if that was due to the head/face injury/wound. Adjutant of the regiment? May I ask to which regiment the Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon 13 was subordinated to? 

 

About the REK4 (I probably got that wrong) or 3: REK3 (or REK2?) would be the Offizierkreuz, I do wonder if a Leutnant der Reserve would receive that grade? Please let me know. Italian Order of the Crown, Grand Officer Cross? That would make sense, I have for a while know wondered what the star decoration (2nd picture, also apparently something around the neck) is, I think, this could be it! Once again, thanks everyone! 

 

Hi,

RE3XKr is for Hauptmann

RE3X is for Leutnant and Oberleutnant

It is possible to have a close up of the medal bar to be sure about Reuß medal please ?

Christophe

Great news. In those books, can we find the lisf of all officers who received BMV4X ?

Christophe

I thought he received the RE3X and not RE4X. Have to find his fils to be sure

Christophe

He served with Res Jäger Btn Nr. 13

hi,

Here is one photo of my small private museum. I have a ribbon bar with SA3bX, EK2 and RE3X. I put it with Leutnant shoulderboards from IR 107. Only one officer from this unit received this combo plus EK1 and RK : Lt d.R. Otto Meißner (1896-1919)

Christophe

Hi Dave

Thanks for the information.

Here is phot of Erich Krebs

Thanks Giannis

thanks Rick, it belonged to Major Hermann Kiel

@ Komtur, impressive medal bar you got there. Thanks for sharing it with us

Hello everybody

After years of research, I was finally able to acquire the Reuß Cross of Honor 3rd Class with swords and crown. A rare piece, and in excellent condition.

Christophe

It can be id with a lot of research

Christophe

Hi Stogie

To be honest, it is the first time I see two EK on a same bar. For me it's not possible but it is my opinion. You were proud to wear an non combattant EK2 .And how it is possible that after he has made action and was rewarded ?  For me stay awary from this bar
