Hello, I don't think that it is the Infantry regiment 115. In his book (The Imperial German Regimental Markings), Jeff Noll indicate several same markings on bayonets, and he read : "Armeekorps VIII, Landsturm Infanterie Bataillon 14, company 2". 115 is the number of the bayonet. Best regards. Stephan

Dog tag question..
Minen replied to Mike Dunn's topic in Germany: Imperial: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
Hi, In reality, the Model 1914 does not exist. This one is Model 1878 but it was used during the Great War, until the end of 1915. Nice cord ! Stephan -
And finally, here is the summary of his "travel" (I'm sorry, I've made this board in french but I can translate if you want) : I've made a correlation between the 3rd page of the pass (10th chapter : Feldz?ge) and the personal notices (pages 8-13 and the add pages in this pass) Here is a map wich show differents places where he go in Alsace : And some postcards (all posted during the war) from villages in the same land : Another town which is noted in the pass and a german military cemetery near the Hartmannswillerkopf : This Vizefeldwebel survived the war (I also have his Wehrpass - 1942 but without fightings). I hope this post will interessed you. Best regards, Stephan

This is the most interesting part of the pass. He went to hospital for illness (4th line : Wegen Krankheit... Feld Lazaret) His "travel" during 1914-1916. We can see his Eiserne Kreuz and his promotion to the rank of Wizefeldwebel : Detail : The end of his "travel" after 1916 : He ended the war in a "Feld Rekruten Depot" of the Guard Division n? 1 : Stephan

Hello, This is one of my Milit?rpass of a Vizefeldwebel who had fighting in France (and Belgium at the begining) during all the war. Before the war, he was Gefreiter (1910) and Oberj?ger (1913). During the war, he was Vizefeldwebel (1916) : He has had the Eiserne Kreuz in 1915. We can see on the 3rd page a summary of his fightings (during 1914-1916) : The end of this summary : To be continued... Stephan

Unit ID help on discs

Exactly. But the Brigade Ersatz Bataillonen are usually noted B.E.B. or Br.E.B. and I don't see that on this tag. But perhaps you're right. Tony, do you have a photo or scan of the small ID tag ? Stephan -
Unit ID help on discs
Minen replied to Tony's topic in Germany: Imperial: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
Hi, What a strange dog tag ! First, this soldier leaved in Steinhagen (Westphalie). On the large ID tag, there is two assignments and I think we have to read like that : 2. Er. B. 44 : 2 Ersatz Bataillon (replacement bataillon), Infanterie Regiment n? 44 (2d Division, 1st Army Corps - Eastern Prussia). 6/372 : 6 Kompagnie, Infanterie Regiment n? 372 (10th Landwehr Division, 1st Army Corps). It is possible that this soldier was called up into the JR 44 at the beginning of the war. Then he came into the JR 372 (same Army Corps, this regiment was formed in 1916). The small ID tag is certainly his first dog tag. Stephan -
I continue... A rare tag with relief (1916 pattern, generally, these tags don't have a marking with relief) Another one with relief but 1915 pattern (it is also a bavarian unit) : And the last two for today : 2 tags of "J?ger". The first is for an officer. Both are 1878 pattern. Best regards, Stephan
