Der Stab 96. R.J.Br. im Granattrichter 29.5.18. The same officers of the first photo in this thread are also on this photo. So we have a Leutnant of RIR 221 who served the 96. RJB staff from at least 15.5.18. to 16.8.18, who was awarded an Hessian Kriegerehrenzeichen. Someone should be able to identify him right?

Hi Andy, what is your source of that list? I've been looking into him a bit and I came across the following. 1.8.1914 - 1.10.1914 Kdr III./ IR 55 21.9.1914 - 9.11.1914 Fhr IR 16 9.11.(1.10.)1914 - 5.4.1915 Kdr IR 55 27.5.1915 - 7.1.1917 Kdr IR 98 8.2.1917 - 2.8.1917 Kdr RIR 15 2.8.1917 - 1918 Kdt von Norderney 22.6.1918 - 17.8.1918g. Kdr 96. RIB It's pretty close but the dates differ.

I bought an 'EREL' cap for my photography trips. I'm no collector but I can assure those caps are unmistakably reproductions. For instance the label thingy is woven into the cap. So far what I have seen that company is very open to the fact they deal in reproductions. In my opinion their price is fair. Any custom made cap with those materials will also set you back that amount. Before the 'EREL' I tried an 'el cheapo' unbranded version of the same model. The size wasn't correct, the visor was not attached in the middle, the wool was of synthetic quality and the seems were average. It ended up in the garbage bin. So yeah my conclusion is that the 'EREL' caps are reenact quality. Any buyer thinking he bought an original should really scratch behind his own ears in this case.

Not the entire photo, but Ill post the bit what is important. I have actually 2 photo's of the same officer group but in complete different setting. Both will be 'published' some time though. The left guy has '22' on his boards. The Oberst in the middle as said before has '55' on his boards. The right guy most likely has a 2 digit number starting with a '5'. So yes. If the captions are correct, he fell the day after the photo's were taken. Thanks so far, already more information that I could hoped for.

Hello all. I used this forum for research for quite a while now. Maybe time to show what I do with that gathered info. I prefer to colour photo's from my own collection but I also do photo's from public collections.
