Hello . Any indication of regimental number ? or bataiilon ? The piece is apparently a cigarette case gifted to some officer who won the 1913 shoot competition .the bataillon command payed the prize . the crest of arms engraved on probably is that of the recipient of the prize. Requires a Nobilty Almanach to determine the Family .

The black cuirasses were a gift from tsar Alexander I to the Garde du Corps .

Hello ,a comment . At the outbreak of ww1 many foreigners resident or not in France volunteered to service in the French Army.this corp of volunteers included citizens of USA . The Swiss writer Blaise Cendrars was among the volunteers . he wrote a book The chopped hand , in which related his war experiences . Two points of his book i think are in connection with the theme . One that all the volunteers were officially incorporated into the Foreign Legion . as infantrymen . Two ,during 1915 ,the French High Command searched the files looking for volunteers to serve in the heavy Artillery . the neccesity of artillerymen endured all the duration of the war . so if Dr Brodeur enlisted in the Foreign Legion it was because this Corp was the only allowed to receive foreign volunteers . acting as a sort of Depot . and being a graduate its not surprise that he was oriented to the Artillery,

Excellent !

Hello , Three Monarchies remains in northern Europe , the Swedish ,the Danish and the Norwegian , all the three with Navies .the badge posted could be of the Swedish Navy (Svenska Flottan ). of the Danish No because the Danes wear a Navy badge with oak leaves and not laurel ones . apart the anchor is carried over a oval cockade red white. Norwegian Navy is another option . Great Britain No , the crown of the Royal Navy is quite distinct. some else : It looks as a badge for use on berets or a baseball cap

Fine job! . Respect to if a Admiral could have received the Turkish War Medal without serving inTurkey I think that Yes , Vizeadmiral Horthy of the KuK marine is a example .

Hello , My pleasure , perhaps exists something similar about Belgian blades . The German manufacturer Weyerberg Kirschbaum & co that exists today was a great manufacturer of blades and probably supplied the Belgian Army , as note ,today WKC produces ceremonial blades for France and Great Britain in the last case having the patterns of Wilkinsons. PS Excuse me , do you need tanslation ?

Hello : the Prince was a close relative of the Romanian Royal family ,he was nephew of KIng Ferdinand I . His father was also first cousin of King Friedrich August III of Saxony the father in law of Prince Francis Joseph . He was also Rear Admiral of the Royal Romanian Navy .

For a while i tought in Guido von Usedom but he died in 1925. Usedom also was awarded the turkish war medal , the other German Admiral present in Turkey was Vizeadmiral Johannes Merten but he died in 1926 curiously he was recognized by the Ottoman Empire as General der Artillerie . sugerence : Go to : Kategorie Vizeadmiral ( Kaiserliche Marine ) Wikipedia with some luck you can find something

My pleasure , The SB intrigues me , I will continue the search . some into my memory is saying : you had see before that board .

The colour of the Forstdienst SB s was green a rather dark one not brown as is your SB .perhaps it belonged to a private service of Forest care.

The acorns were the pips of the forestry service. the SA used to mark rank the same pip pattern of the Army

Jaba 1914, thanks for clear the fate of Korner .

Hello , Take a look at www gallipoli 1915 /de flying squadrons 1 6 .

Yes , and the Mission is named Jeanne d Arc because when it was established was on board of the Jeanne d Arc R97 a Cruiser launched in 1961 with the name La Resolute . changed for Jeanne d Arc when comissioned in 1964 . she served until 2010 .

Yes , and the manufacture is the same.

Hello Its what in German is called a Wimpel . they were for use on vehicles . as means of indication of the rank of the user .

It fits , the question is to know if any unit equiped with the 105 mm LG operated in the area where the shield was found.

Rohleder : In which battlefield was digged out ?

Hello : Really uniforms of the seventies of the 19 th century. but appears to be of good quality.

Perhaps Its linked to the Mission Jeanne d Arc , of the French Marine Nationale . this mission is a campaign that takes place each year and is destined to complete the training of the naval cadets . it lasted several months.

bcalkins : Thanks for your answer, I dont thougt in foot jaegers. in mounted ones yes but the patch doesnt match. Regarding to the 1st Feldjager , according with Lorenz , the ethnicity was 62 per cent Germans 26 pc Czechs and 2 per cent others, Perhaps after the reorganistion of the year 1917 the Battallion was merged with a Hungarian one

All points to a Red Cross Society , but which ? Its not Lithuanian , Estonian or Letonian . Danzig also no,Poland ? no too.Scandinivia ? another time No . The ribbon appears to be of the type used by women . Knoted . and the colours are rare, Incidentally those of the uniform of the QARANC Scarlet and Grey.
