Hello all,
nice picture of a soldier from the Schutztruppe in the beautiful white uniform with tropical helmet.
I have some questions, maybe you can help me.... scans of all details follow...
1. What is the EXACT rank of this man? I think it is something like a Oberbüchsenmacher , right or not?
2. What are N°3 + 4 on the medal bar? I think bavarian MVK and Luitpold , right?
3. What is the thing over the cockarde on the helmet?
Any more informations you can find on the uniform details and equipment will be helpful , please let me know all your thoughts....
thank you
Heiko
