      Nice Picture!

      He was a former Reserve-Officer of GR 101 "Kaiser Wilhelm, König v. Preußen, transferred to Landwehr 1895 and back to the reserve of GR 101 on 07. Sept. 1916. On the shoulderboard on your pic. he´s wearing the cypher "WR I" with crown. On that time he was the CO of 1. Ersatz-Bat./IR 134 :love: and your photo is with great possibility from this date.

      I also have a photo of him with officers from Ersatz-Bataillon /Landwehr-IR 107, ca. August-Sept. 1914 where he is pictured without Litzen, SB not visible.

      Hoffmann was a somewhat famous pharmacist in Baden-Baden, that´s why he´s wearing the Zähringer. He later lived in Wiesbaden and died in 1947

      PS: could I have a clearer scan of it for my database?

      Thank you.

      The King´s sons in manoeuvre

      Gentlemen,

      I have this nice Tellgmann photo in my collection. It shows us all three Sons of King Frederic August III. in their Leibgrenadier-Uniforms.

      Crown Prince Georg (1rst), Ernst Heinrich (3rd) and Friedrich Christian (4th.) On the backside there´s a handwritten inscription which dates it from 1904. But I think it was taken between 1906-1909/10.

      Will check the saxon Militär-Verordnungsblatt 1911 and 1914 Ranklist tonight .


      I also have a saxon Rangliste of 1918.

      Hallo Andreas. An dieser Rangliste wäre ich sehr interessiert. :catjava:

      Könnte ich die als Kopie o.ä. bekommen?

      Gruß Stefan

      PS: mentioned Rudolf Barth (born 24.7.81 in Hettstedt, Provinz Sachsen) received the St. Henry KC in April 1918 as Hauptmann in general-Staff of 53. saxon Reserve-Division.

      High ranking officer portraits from Heino Fricke publisher Leipzig

      Hi guys.

      I bought this nice photo from ebay last week as a birthday present to myself.

      It´s the first of it´s kind for me. So I´m interested if someone is able to give me some background infos.

      Where these pics sold seperately or as a whole scrapbook or something else?

      One unusual thing is the printed name on it. The pics I´ve seen so far were all without any note of the portrayed person.

      Gruß Stefan
