Hello there ! I just bought an album with 50 photos from another IGB attached to the Sturmbataillon 7 (IGB23) I recognise some very similar views (the railway station, the platz in Bosmont, ubungsplatz, Pargny...), I will share it when I will be able to remove the photos (text are oon the back) and to scan them. Best regards, Julien

Hello, thank you ! Xiphophilos from Flickr transcipted the text: "Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit bei der Sturm-Kanon(en)-Abt(eilung) des Sturm Battl 5. Armee im Westen Kriegsjahr 1914 15 16 17 Dein Bruder August English translation: In memory of my time of service with the Assault Gun Section of the Assault Battalion 5th Army in the West War Year 1914 15 16 17 Your brother August" Indeed it is strange with no leather protection and boots. I don't understand the presence of the sabers either (I am trying to identify them to find out if it can help to understand). The designation of Sturm-Kanonen-Abteilung is really strange, I knew IGB or Haubitzen-Batterie but never heard of this detachment under this name. Yet the guy clearly indicates that he has been there and he must at least know the name of his unit...

Hello I managed to get the five that are already posted on this topic. One time you told me that you have already 6 in the set, is it possible to see the 6th different you have please. It would help me to know what it looks like. Thanks, Julien

Another postcard from this unit:

A new one possibly linked to the Sturm Bataillon: The text seems to say: Sturm-Kanon-Abt des Sturm Battl 5 Armee Never heard about a Sturm-Kanon-Abteilung

Some more stormtrooper poscards: Sturm-Bataillon 2 Sturm-Bataillon 6 (horizontal): Sturm-Bataillon 16: And some additional not related to Sturm-Bataillon: My favourite: And the last one: I have also the complete Rohr set:

I received some weeks ago this nice postcard with the stamp from the 2. Sturmkompagnie. The text is also very interesting by describing a lot of stormtroopers aspects:

Here is the full set : Every postcard has at least one funny element but I couldn't identify them in all the pictures.

Fantastic Schad ! I have myself a nice set of two pictures about the Jäger Sturm Bataillon Nr 3 :

Hello everybody, I never be as stressed waiting for a shipment. I am waiting the full set for next week: Never saw a full set for sale before.

Most of my stamps with full text said : Brief-Stempel Some example : Some Soldaten-Briefstempel: And FeldpostBrief: I don't have any Soldaten-Brief in full text. For Sturmbataillon Rohr I have these stamps: 8.10.15 7.2.16 B.S. Sturmabt 25 and 26.7.16 9.2.17 B.S. Sturmbatl (training troops) 28.8.16 17.1.17 B.S. Sturm-Batl (real "members" in combat unit) And at least two more stamps I don't have : B.S. Sturm-Batl (Rohr) and the one about the Haubitzbatterie

Hi thank you for the information. I have made some additional research and found that this stamp was in use at least since September 1915 (and I have a postcard from October 1915). So if I understand it is the same stamp tha the one from Sturm-Abteilung Rohr but before February 1916 it stands for the Rohr Abteilung and after this date it stands for Sturm-(lehr)-Abteilung of the 12.Ldw.Div. I think that they simply didn't change the stamp. Julien

Hi, I think B.S. stands for Brief Stempel. The stamp is from a divisional sturmabteilung. I don't know from which division for the moment. The Sturmabteilung commanded by Rohr became the Sturmbataillon the 1st April 1916. But this stamp looks like the one for the Sturmabteilung Rohr. So I am not sure.

I really like stamps and this shape correspond to the SB2 as on this photo: That seems specific to the 3rd Army the oval.

Hi everyone, here are some photos about the sturmbataillon Rohr that I just picked up. 2 photos with Rohr on the first: Description and back on my Flickr profile (to not overload this topic). And one more from this set (a BUFA): And possibly another from a different set (I am not sure about this one): I also have a couple of stamps : This first kind of stamp seems ti have been used by non-sturmbataillon troops on formation while the second one seems to be used by the man of the Sturmbataillon: Some text already have transcription/traduction on Flickr while the letter and some others don't.
