Hi, thank you both for your help. Of course I have all the pre-war details available in Ruhmeshalle and 251 Divisions. I will do more research on this as I want to put it on my website with other docs. If you have time and you want - please see my other docs that I published on my website (link below) and feel free to comment / add any new info. That would be highly appreciated. Here is the doc:

Dear Fellow members, I would like to describe an EK citation for a Gefreiten of Niederschlesisches Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 5. He belonged to 3 kompagnie (so I guess, to the II bataillon). However, I am a bit confused when it comes to assigning the unit to right division / corps. The document itself was signed by Major of this regiment, but what I can see on the document is also a "d. Kommandierende General d. XVII Reservekorps" (printed). I checked with Ruhmeshalle (page 479 in my edition) and it seems that the II bataillon was assigned to 26 Infanterie Division. But what about other bataillons of this regiment? Second - I also checked with Histories of 251 divisions... and it seems that the FussArtRgt5 was attached to 26 Infanterie Division in 1918. My document was signed in 22 August 1917 (but for battle/other event that took place 2 June 1917), so I would like to know what happened before 1918. Would you please clarify the above? Kind regards and thank you. Marcin

So, as said before, I did some research. The first shoulderboard with "O" is Grenadier-Regiment „Königin Olga“ (1. Württembergisches) Nr. 119. The second one with "167" is 1. Ober-Elsässische Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 167 The third and fourth, both with "WR", are Infanterie-Regiment „Kaiser Wilhelm, König von Preußen“ (2. Württembergisches) Nr. 120. The fifth with "W I" is Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm I. (6. württ.) No. 124. The sixth with "W I" is Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm I. (6. württ.) No. 124. Questions: Are there only Mannschaften shoulderboards presented above? What is the model number of the shoulderboards? Last one - why IR 124 had two different shoulderboards (i.e. one red, one black) ? Thank you for help! Marcin

Dear All, I just wanted to show you what came to me last Friday. I will do my own research on the units that should be assigned to below shoulderboards, but any comments are appreciated. The red one with W is just to compare with black one, as I guess they are the same irrespective of different colours. Kind regards, Marcin

Dear Fellow Members, I have new a EKII 1914 award citation (together with his Militarpass and Soldbuch) for reservisten Valentin Bieniek. You will find it here: http://www.imperialgermanmilitaria.com/index.php/photos/branch/infantry/77-rir22 Would you please tell me anything more about the date when the citation was awarded? I know RIR22 spent whole 1915 at Verdun, but would appreciate any more details. Kind regards, Marcin
