The Prussian

There is still a difference about the anchor. If it´s silver, it stands for "Materialverwalter" (administrator of materiel?) and if it´s golden, it´a a "Meister" (Master) I think that it´s a technical one

Hi sef! The left one wears black cuffs with white Litzen, so it could be a member of the "Garde-Pioniere", or one of the "Verkehrs-Truppen" (traffic) The 2nd one wears the MG-Scharfschützen-Abzeichen and a 12 on the shoulder straps. So he should be in the "MG-Scharfschützen-Abteilung 12" The former name was "Scharfschützen-Abteilung 2 of Armee-Abteilung Strantz". It consists of MG.Scharfschützen-Trupps 59,117, and 153. Formed 1.oct.1916 (Garde-Ersatz-Division)

it failed... again:

Hi Hardy! Thanx for the info! I try to upload a close-up. Interesting is also the telegraph-buckle

Hi! If you have any infos about that unit, please hve a look at my photo and my post about that Batallion. Thanx a lot in advance http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39337&st=0&p=364254&#entry364254

Hello! Does anyone know something about a name on the slate, "Breuning" in connection with the Sturm-Btl.16?

That are interseting sources, but I didn´t find any information of the unit, he had serevd in. Does anyone have specified infos?

Here is a close-up

Hello! I?ve bought this nice photo. The cars have pennants of an corps-command. The officer on the left wears general-collars. Does everyone know that man, please?

Sorry, I must correct myself. I?ve changed the words... The prussian artillierist in front left (FAR204) wears bavarian buttons!. The unit is all right, the FAR204 was part of the Alpenkorps, but their set-up units came from J?terbog and around Magdeburg. Not Bavaria!

Can anybody help in ID of the officers, standing arounf GFM v.Hindenburg, please? Unfortunately I don?t have any infos about that photo

Maybe in the field, he had just changed his tunic. Does he wear only one triple cartridge pouch? But I don?t think, that my "my" 76ers only had get tunics without new shoulder straps. I think, is has something to do with the stamp og the Sturm-Lehr-Gang" I have another photo, which shows men of the Alpenkorps. The bavarian artillerist in the front of the photo wears prussian buttons...

The backside

I?ve got this nice photo. My question: Why do the guys of the Inf.Rgt.76 wear swedish cuffs????? Note the hanseatic cross upon the cocardes. The backside?s stamp shows "Sturm-Lehr-Gang" of the 111.Inf.Div.

Prussian captain in general staff

Hi Sonya! No, unfortunately I don?t know the name. :(

Hi Ulsterman! I can add a photographie of a one-year-volunteer of the regiment.

Hi Rob! To get informations about german Flieger Abteilungen and everything about the imperial Luftwaffe, I recommend the forum: http://www.frontflieger.de/0-navi.html english language possible.

And here is an earlier map from oct, 30th, 1918 I hope, I could help you a little bit. Sources: The german forces in the field november 1918

Hi Walfisch! Here is a map from nov, 9th

put-it-to-the-top-message...

Hello! I don?t know the english word for that, we say "Schuldschein" (promissory note???). unverzinslich" = "zinslos" = interest-free)

Hi Rick! Thanx for your response! I?ve heard something about those units, but in the Busche (Geschichte der dt. Infanterie), I can?t find a 24. There were several independent units listed, but not the 24. Maybe the list ain?t complete.

Yes, that?right, but that doesn?t explain the number 24... Maybe it?a the number of MG companies, if all companies of a corps were counted??? :rolleyes:

Hello! I got this photo today. It?s a sad one. But I don?t know the designation at the cross on the right. I see R.I.R.81 and M.G.K.24 Well, Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 81. That?s clear. M.G.K.: Maschinengewehrkompanie. Clear. But the 24? No regiment had 24 MG companies... and as far as I know, the RIR 81 didn?t have any MG- company. Any ideas, please? By the way: The F18 upon the upper arm means "Fernsprech-Abteilung XVIII.Armee-Korps" (In this case XVIII reserve Korps - so the writer signed on the back of this card.) Thanx a lot in advance!
