So, this would pretty much be it then from what we think ?

I’d just need to add a chin strap and we would be good to go.

GreyC,

Would be like this then.

Actually, that writing was on the back of this photo.  But obviously taken at the same time.  Looks like my grandfather took this one and the other guy took the first photo. 

GreyC,

In the photo you have up top( and I attached), do you know what the “colors” were used on their visor hat?  The top and that band. I was looking to try to find one.  Even a reproduction one would be fine.  I’m just not sure which one it would be.

Thanks

Here is the back of the photo in his own handwriting.  Let me know if that gleams and information   

I was too young to really ever ask him when he passed in 1978, but my uncle said he would tell him stories of running messages back and forth to the front lines.

here is another photo of my great grandfather when he was in France in the motorcycle unit.

Thank you Bayern

My great grandfather was part of 3. Kompanie E/VIII Kraftfahr-Bataillon Breslau (1916-1917) & Kraftfahr-Abteilung 1 (1917-1918) in Charleville France.

I have some photos of him from those times.

Does anyone have more information on what they would have been doing for duties during those times?

Also, I was looking to find a leather jacket like the ones they wore.  Is that possible?  Does anyone manufacture a good replica ?

Thank you
