Hi, they are asking for contributions for a Rettungsgesellschaft, probably an orphan´s fund or the like. The photo was likely taken in Vienna. https://kattus.at/ Some of the children in Uniform photos are wonderful! GreyC

Hello gentlemen, so if I understand this correctly, there were not only documents issued for EKI, II after the war as "catch ups", but also some that were earned after the armistice during Freikorps activities? Thank you, Grey

Hi Dave chanced upon this and doing a little search found that you were and might still be interested in him... Read the name on the back, please.

Hi, Thanks for that.
Now I have to reevaluate all the Theophiles. The FR 90 Stammliste listed its Theophile as Friedrich, but that looks like a "90" on the shoulder boards. Also, the 1915 Frankfurt Adressbuch lists an architect in Isenburg as "Max", and the 1911 rank list of reserve and Landwehr officers says the FR 90 officer was an architect in Isenburg. So the Stammliste got it wrong. He received the MMV1 as well as the MMV2.

Hi, the flu was just one illness that could spark an epidemic. There were many more which were contagious as well and as deadly. So the stamp means only that it is a hospital for contagious diseases. The writer of the last card was a member of a reserve Field or Foot Regiment 203. The line below is curious. It says Ueberaschungsgruppe Major Zobl which translates as Surprisegroup Major Zobl. Have never heard of such a group (surprise-attack-group, maybe?) GreyC

Hi, this is true only during peace time as far as I know. GreyC

Pleasure! GreyC

Hi Farkas, thanks for sharing your story with us. Do you know if your Grandpa was ever wounded? GreyC

Hi, here is a photo of German-Russian fraternization after the armistice. Note the German band and the photo-camera on the left. GreyC

Some Rppc from 1920’s...

Hi, the photos are really to small to sayfor certain but I mean to see that the NCO (Unteroffizier) and the guy to his left in the 2nd photo both have marksman/Good shooting badges on their sleeves. The NCO one better than his comrade. GreyC -
Uncle Gyulu wants to know from Aladar, how his Grandmother (probably Aladar´s) managed the trip to Ödenburg (Sopron). GreyC

Hi, my link gives the reason why it might be missing. Entnobilitiert means it was stripped of the imperial chiffre because it was used in the Reichswehr. If you find any markings on it, specialists may confirm that. GreyC

Hi, nice pix! Especially the Firefighters. The guy with the lantern is group-chief. Hermann sent the card (that he says turned out well) to his girlfriend or wife with "hot kisses". An appropriate choice of words for a firefighter! GreyC

Hi all, don´t know if this private photo counts... GreyC

Hi, probably the chiffre of the regiment he served with. See: https://www.feldgrau-forum.com/threads/infanterie-offiziers-degen-n-m-i-o-d-1889-kriegsfertigung.33454/ GreyC

Hi, the writing is very faint. What I can make out is: Nach der EK Verteilung EKI Oblt (Ing) Hans ??? in Lund i(n) N(orwegen)- After Iron Cross distribution, IC 1st class Oberleutnant (Engineer) Hans ??? in Lund in Norway. GreyC

They are German, alright. They wore felt cap, here, as in your postcard with camouflage cover. See an example from my collection dated 1913 :

Hi, the first two words are Editha Carls (zur Erinnerung an den 4. Juli 1908). That´s the name of a lady that this photo was dedicated to in remembrance of the day the photo was taken so I presume she is one of the ladies in the pic. The 4th soldier from the left, last row, is a naval officer. GreyC

Agree. Great photo! GreyC

Hi Farkas, 1st photo #82 is a Saxon note the German cuffs and the green/white cockade. GreyC
