Hi Gunnar.
Ernst Johannes Beck, born 27.07.1891 in Neukirchen/Erzgebirge. 1905-1910 in Saxon Kadettenkorps. Then joined the IR 104 as an Fähnrich. His unit at the time of his decoration with Albrechtsorden was Armeeflugpark 2 (Source: MWB Nr. 21 (30. März 1916). Promoted to Oberlt. 21.12.1916. He survived the war and left the Army with the rank of Hauptmann.
Regards
Stefan

Update:
I received the following additional information from Feldgrau-Forum
The medals are from left to right
Medal Militaire Croix de Guerre 14-18 with a "Citation" medal 1870-71 with (volunteer?) Clasp On the far right a shooting clip Below the English Medal de Crimée (Does that mean that he could have participated in the Crimean War as a child?)

Good evening. I was able to acquire this wonderful picture today, although France is not my collecting area. The label on the back reads as follows: "Remembering the Great War of a voluntary zouave from 1870 ..................... from 1914 Volunteer for the East
Senior citizen in the French army Class of 1869 Sergent L. Paul. " Are there specialists here in the forum who can give me more details? Especially about his medals? The second in the top row is most likely the Croix de Guerre. Is there a (theoretical) possibility to identify the man on the basis of personnel records? Thank you in advance for any help. Stefan
PS: Sorry for the bad quality, I use the seller's photos but will provide an scan of the original as soon as I get it.

One more card.
On 25.6.2015 at 08:04, Chris Boonzaier said:Hi,
the Heil Stosstrupp seems to be part of a series....
The whole series consists of 6 cards.
Extract from Schumacher/Dorsch: A. Paul Weber: Leben und Werk
"...Weitere Kontakte folgten, so zum Verlag Fritz Würtz in Berlin-Steglitz, der ein Aquarell Webers (Blick auf Wilna) als Postkarte herausbrachte, und zum Verlag der Wanderschriften-Zentrale, Hellerau bei Dresden, der dem Gedankengut der Jugendbewegung nahe stand. Hier erschienen 1917 die drei sechsteiligen Postkartenserien (Anm. 056) „Deutsches Kriegsziel“, „Heil Stosstrupp“ und „Die deutsche Frau in der Heimarmee“

Hi.
bought this photo of a saxon Hauptmann at the weekend. Clearly visible his shoulderboards with "178" or "179". Dedication reads: "z. Erinnerung an Wurzen August 1917" But his signature is still a misery for me. First I thougt Köhnecke but can´t find nobody on Ranklists or Roth. What are youre clues?

45 minutes ago, Tony said:Thanks Stefan but according to GenWiki that was up until mobilisation, or am I misunderstanding it? IR 134 were Saxon too so I imagine you're correct.
Wiki isn´t correct. Attached a Scan of the saxon ranklist 1914. IR 139 was still a part of 24th Division, 47th brigade in 1914. It only switched the brigade. IR 133 and 134 formed 89th brigade / 40th. division till 1915. Then 89th brigade (IR 133, 139, 179) was transferred in Spring 1915 to 24th. Divison when the composition of german infantry divisions was changed into only one brigade of 3 regiments per division instead of 2 brigades of 2 regiments so far. So IR 139 was transferred into that brigade then as IR 134 left the brigade and became part of 88th. brigade (IR 104, 134, 181) /40th. Division.
1 hour ago, Tony said:Also if the unit was known as Koeniglich Saechsisches 11 Inf. Regt. 139, does that just mean they were 11th in seniority among Saxon regiments?
TonyThat´s correct.

Please take a look at the Dresdner Salonblatt . It included a lot of photographs of high ranking officers (Saxon mainly) in relative usable quality, see attachment. Also some useful background information.
Another great strike of the Dresden State-Library!

I wonder if the barracks exists...
They do and are still in use by the brandenburg Ministry of the Interior. Sorry but find no proper pictures of it.

The monument itself was blewn up in 1946 as of order of the communist government. As a special act of humiliation it had to be done by former member s of the regiment.

Hi Meme,
Prior to war XVIII., XX., XXI. and III. Bavarian AK had no own Bekleidungsamt
https://www.kaisersbunker.com/ht/stamps.htm,
So according to your stamp they where supplied from XIII. AK.
An other source I have says, XVIII. AK was supplied from VII., VIII. and XI. AK, which makes more sense since they were the adjacent AK's.
