      Just watched last night a documentary on the US television History Channel about Germany's U-Boots. U-Boot was a dangerous business. Heavy losses in boats and sailors. Das Boot is an excellent movie also...

      Here's a nice photo of KuK Franz Josef I. with several of his decorations.

      On the left: Zugsführer (unknown regiment/branch) with a FJ bronze Tapferkeitsmedaille. And a bayonet. On the right: Zugsführer (unknown regiment/branch) with a Silbernes Verdienstkreuz mit Krone and a Militär-Jubiläumskreuz 1908. And a sword.

      Ken, thanks for reviving this old thread! Interesting detour to the 4. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß in Berlin; previous posts to the thread had the Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 203 associated with the 5. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß. I'm sure there was a lot of shifting around in those early days. Almost nothing in this research business is clear cut.

      We've posted a lot of Imperial German photos, let's get the Austria-Hungary ball rolling too! Post your photos! I really like this one of a Feldwebel (unknown regiment or branch) with a bronze FJ Tapferkeitsmedaille and a Mobilisierungskreuz 1912/13 He also has a good number of Kappenabzeichen on his Feldmutze. And a pretty wife with roses.

      Ahhh, Good Times. By the way, this thread has wondered way off from your original post. My sincere and greatest respects to your wife's Great Grandfather. Great that you finally snagged the 101 card.

      Well, that is true... Because we aim to please.

      And crapping in their pants... Middle English artillerie, from Anglo-French, from artiller to equip, arm, alteration of Old French atillier, from Vulgar Latin *apticulare, from Latin aptare to don, prepare, fit In other words, adept at using their weapons, causing the infants to yet once again.... crap in their pants.
    15. IrishGunner
      We know. Because the King of Battle always does something vulgar that begins with "F" to the Queen.

      Origin of the word "infantry": Middle French & Old Italian; Middle French infanterie, from Old Italian infanteria, from infante boy, foot soldier, from Latin infant-, infans First Known Use: 1579. In other words, a child, a baby, an infant.

      Welcome to the Great War sub-forum, Boris! As Chris said, feel free to post your interests. I saw your excellent maps in the modelling sub-forum and if you have any of WWI battles they would be very interesting to see.

      A better view of the 30.5cm M11 Mörser. By 1916, 58 of these beasts had been built and deployed. It was improved in 1916 and this version saw service into WWII. Skoda was well known for these and other heavy mortars...
