25 issues of Kaiserzeit, Vol II-XI, available on abebooks
http://www.abebooks.com/Kaiserzeit-Journal-Imperial-German-Military-Collectors/10427611399/bd
There are two issues available online (51 and 53). In this 53 (dated 1992), page 14, we can see "Questions Corner" and "From Chip Minx". Very nice! :-)

Rick,
Can you share scans of Kaiserzeit, please? Is it available anywhere in the net?
Best,

Well, I think none of us would not buy single shoulderboard in price much below market prices just because it is single...

Hi Dante,
It is a really great find! I have more than 100 passes and none from Gebirgs Artillerie, wish to have at least one.
As to EK entry - I have seen few similar examples (entry was added with no reference in the text related to a service in specific unit).
It would be nice to have his Soldbuch.
Would you be so kind to show the cover?
Regards,
Marcni

Chris,
Just to double check if I understand you correctly - collecting single boards is wrong because of ... what?
I mean, I have just singles as they were offered for sell as such. But I also have a hope to buy the second (the same) single, to have a pair some day.
Is that wrong? Why?
Regards,
Marcin

The Straits Times, 20 February 1933
His appointment to "Kommodore der Hamburg-Amerika Linie" is January 15, 1933
.
And here is a longer story of his appointment, with some personal details:
(check the text on the right of the page)
And from The Nautical Magazine 1914 (Bande 92):
Captain Paul Wiehr, s.s. Blucher - Commander, Order of the Lion and Sun (Persia); Knight Cross, First Class, Order of Albrecht (Saxony); Knight, First Class, Order of Friedrich (Wurtemberg); Reserve Decoration, Second Class, Silver Medal for ... unreadable.
And next, from The Express Messenger, 1927 (there is more text but I don't have that book):
"The delightful quiet friendliness of the members of the staff of 'Albert Ballini' is the spirit of Captain Paul Wiehr himself. Sunny days follow sunny days and the captain is free to express his natural liking for people."
Regards,
Marcin

Hi All,
As I bought my first Boxer Rebellion document, I would like to ask kindly if you have any idea where I can find the order of battle of 5. Ostasiatisches Infanterie-Regiment.
I would also like to research Major v. Freyhold, who signed the document, but for now I know he was with GR7 before he moved to 5 Ostasiatisches IR.
Can anyone recognise the place where the document was signed? I can't :-(
Kind regards,
Marcin

Dave - Thank You for this interesting info. Can I ask - how do you know all this?
Last question - where can I find the list of awards abbreviations? I know just few of them but I remember there is a full list somewhere here.

No, no date stamped. Just Charles Rhein, Metz (photograph I guess).

Thank you very much! I will research on the units from Metz.

Hi Martha,
You will find more information on IR 75 here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanterie-Regiment_Bremen_%281._Hanseatisches%29_Nr._75
Btw. Can we have a Musketier in other unit than Infantry? Guess not.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for that, I will use that term from now. Is it the same award as Erinnerungsmedaille 1870/71? I have such note in one of the passes.
By the way - are there many collectors of 1870/71 items in Germany?
Regards,
Marcin

Hi Naxos,
nice document indeed, and you are lucky to have a picture!
As to the awards - only Kriegsverdienstmedaille 1870/ 71, I can't find other entries regarding awards. This is somehow interesting as the one below took part in battles near Paris, Sedan etc.
I will research my documents further as soon as time allows.
Kind regards,
Marcin

Thank you, Chip.
So I understand the important difference between both "L" is the crown now, correct?

Dear All,
I wonder how many different types of 1870/71 there were.
For now I have like four or five (you can see them here: http://www.imperialgermanmilitaria.com/index.php/photos/date/1870-1871/79-1870-71-militaerpass-documents )
Below are just examples - there are different covers / backside, as well as different printing houses.
Please show what you have there!
Kind regards,
Marcin
