Gentleman i quote this old post because im looking for a Leutnant Vieth who served in the IR 144 and was awarded with a damast IOD89 by his former unit in 1915.
I know the IR135 and IR144 formed the 67. Infanterie-Brigade
Is it possible that the Vieth of the IR144 is the same Vieth as mentioned above ( this sword was presented to him by the 4. Kompanie der 5.Lothringisches IR 144 as a memorial of his company when he got the command of the 8. Kompanie of the 5. Lothr.IR144 ( listed on 08 nov 1915 in the Regiments book of the IR144 which i own one)
I know another sword presented to Hauptmann Vieth of the IR459 ( which was formed later on in the war by remains of the IR 135.
I hope someone can shed a light on who was who in the IR144 & IR135.
Kind Regards
Ger Hessels
