IR 134

Here' one from my small Imperial photo collection.

Hi Coldstream,

nice saxon Offiziers-Stellverteter.

Can you recognize the number on the shoulderboards?

Regards Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Glad this data was of interest to you. I saved the notes, but they are at my office and I am away for a week. I'll get the citations for you when I return.

Cheers

OK Mike, many thanks for that.

Cheers

Stefan

Here we have a picture of him. It?s from the 3rd volume of the regimental history (picture volume) from 1925.

Gru? Stefan

Hi Mike.

Coooooooooollllllllllllllll

Didn?t expected that anyone will reply me for my question.

From what source is this?

Can?t see precise the entry on the 2nd picture. Could you please tell me what is written there or maybe make a bigger picture?

Regards Stefan :cheers:

I?m sorry to say but that is not an artillery-officer because of the german cuffs the man wear.

Saxon artillery wore swedish cuffs. Also the shoulderboards have white underground which is another indication for infantry.

Gru? Stefan

For me it looks like "179" - also saxon.

Gru? Stefan

Hmm, yes, there is a short description on the back

"Sachsen Zeithain 1912"

Zeithain was the training ground for XIX. Armee-Korps, so i think the picture was made during manoevers ath this place. That would also fit with the units IR 104 and 133.

Regards Stefan

The unit should be Feld-Artillerie-Rgt. Nr. 11

Hello

Nice stroy Stefan, very interresting. Just for my information, do you know if the SH medal is hallmarked or not ? Thanks

Regards

Christophe

Hello Christophe.

The medal is marked "F.U."

Have a look Stefan, I have one photo with Oberleutnant from IR Nr. 134. There is no name on the back

Christophe

Sent you pm.

Gru? Stefan

Heinert volunteered in 1913 to the regiment and belonged to the 1. company since I think 1918/19. At this time he was the only member of his company who served the whole time in one company. His later company commander was

Gru? Stefan

Interesting!! I had marked his bio for some reason.

Have you seen the Golden St Henry book?

He got the medal for a very bloody grenade-tossing, night action against British troops near Foureaur.

Hi Ulsterman.

It?s a funny thing with the book: on the same day, I visited Heinert?s grandson, I got the book from a good friend of mine. And when I look inside, I found this dedication from the family Oskar Fritzsche - another gold-medal-winner from IR134 -to his nephew, for confirmation

So, this was an absolutely amazing weekend.

Gru? Stefan

Last Weekend I made a visit to the grandson of Walther Heinert from IR 134, recipent of the Goldene St. Heinrichs-Medaille. Here a picture of his medal-bar.

picture 2

Hi pals. Photo of a pin from the estate of Walther Heinert, winner of the saxon golden st. henry-medal.

Can anybody give me some informations on it? Is it maybe possible, with the numer on the backside, to find out, at which date this pin was awarded?

Mny thanks in advance

Gru? Stefan

The Ehrenritterkreuz 2. Kl. he got in 1906, February 27th. He was a "Postinspektor" in Berlin.

Best regards

Kapitular

Wow.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Gru? Stefan

Hi.

Can someone please do a lookup in the Oldenburg-Rolls for Konrad Appelbaum, Hauptmann d.Res. in IR 134.

In 1906 he received the Ehrenritterkreuz 2nd class. I?m searching informations, what he do in civilian life.

Thanks so far.

Gru? Stefan

And here is my special friend Sievert a bit later with a bit more bling-bling

Where do you get this picture????? Are you the one who got his estate at ebay for ca. 2 years?

Please can you send me a 300 dpi-scan of it?

I still have 3 another pictures of him, one i got from the user "Leutwein" here in the Forum.

Mit neidischen Gr??en

Stefan

Hi,

For me you have found the good name. I have seen them in the Saxon RL 1914.

Christophe

I agree.

Yiiiiieeeeeepiiiiihhhhhh

Gru? und Dank Stefan :cheers:

Closeup of medalbar Nr. 2

I think, first is PKr4X, SA3cX and last DSWA? If so, Hauptmann Walter Sievert would fit.

Gru? und Dank Stefan

Closeup of medalbar Nr. 1

Hi pals. Picture shows officers from IR 134 in August 1914 at main train station in Plauen before being departured "in?s Feld". Is there any possibility to identify Nr. 1 and 2? I have a suggestion that 1 is the regimental commander Oberst von der Decken and 2 Hauptmann Sievert. But i?m unsure.

Gru? Stefan

The unit is given on the first page as 13/M30, Berlin, the collar patch in the photo bears 58/R39.

What's the significance of the M & the R please, do they indicate the type of Gruppe?

M=Motorstandarte, M30=Motorstandarte 30.

"R"=Reserve-Standarte (a normal foot-Standarte with men of 36-45 years) and has nothing to do with NSKK. So the person on the photo wears collar patches from Sturm 58/Reserve-Standarte 39. Resreve-Standarte were disbanded after December 1936.

Gru? Stefan

Stefan,

Alfred Stadler is listed in DAL A 1 May 1942 as an Oberstleutnant. However the list shows his last peacetime assignment. He is shown in the 3 Jan 1939 Stellenbesetzung as an Hauptmann (E) and company commander of 2 (E)/I.R. 9. He was born on 25 November 1898 at Plauen/Vogtland.

This page from DAL AI of 1 May 1941 shows his 1 April 1940 (24) promotion to Major. It is clear from this that he had transfered from (E) back to regular status.

Regards

Glenn

Hi Glenn.

Massive thanks for your support. Fantastic.

Only one more question: 2 (E)/I.R. 9.: to which bataillon did the company belong? To the Ausbildungsbataillon (Training bataillon) or I. (active) bataillon?

Viele Gr??e Stefan

Continuing with the theme. This the cove rpage of Dienstaltersliste A of May 1942. Again regular officers and the precursor to both Dienstalterlsisten I and then S & T. This particular list only contained General officers through captains.

Hi Glenn.

Could you do a lookup in above Dienstaltersliste for this person:
