Why not, could have been visiting? There was an Emil Schleicher of Gmünd severly wounded (reported 31.10.1916 in the loss list). He was witz REIR 4 and a Leutnant der Landwehr. So if the guy´s photo was really taken late in the war it´s not him but someone by the same name and of the same place. GreyC

Hi, To my knowledge, you had (in times of war) 16 strecherbearer-carrier privates and one Uffz. per infantry-regiment. They wore the uniform of the regiment plus the Äskulabstab. I can´t make out a number on the shoulders. So it should be Garde, but the Kragenlitzen are missing. Help me out, guys. GreyC

In 1872 and in the mid 1870s again, Behncke was awarded medals of excellence for photography at two different exhibitions that he then used as means of publicity for a while on the reverse of his CDVs. In the 1880s he was so well established that he no longer used them on his CDVs. However, the style on the back was much more refined, claasical ason your example. So the photo was definitely taken between him being granted the status "by appointment to the Grand duke"(=Hof-Photograph) and his first medal in 1872. The new backs of his CDVs with the medal will have been produced in 1873 a the latest. So the photo must have been taken 1872/73. Two examples from my collection to illustrate the above.

Hi, it´s a bit more complex than that. Several Prussian kings had "Gendenkzeichen für das militärische Gefolge des kKönigs". WI, WII were only two of them. WI had a "W" WR II a "WR". All princes of WII were elligible as well as Generaladjutanten and Generale a la suite and, as mentioned, Flügeladjutanten of the Kaiser. Alle three Abzeichen differed only in the choice of material, not in form. The Gedenkzeichen für Generaladjutanten was made from gold or gold plated silver, the one for Flügeladjutanten made of bronze and then silverplated. The bronze badge for Generale a la suite of the Kaiser had the royal chiffre and crown goldplated, the oakleaves silverplated. GreyC
