The Prussian

Ah OK. Then let's wait a while. Or maybe another one knows more

Could you show the reverse, please? I don´t believe it´s 1813 one.

And the EK? It won't be a 1813

Hmmm, I´ve got a list of EK owners of 70/71. No Könemann...

And it's 1. Garde-Dragoner-Regiment?

Hello! Do you have an era? Is it an EK 70/71 or 1914? The tunic doesn´t look like a Dragoner

Hello! I think, Grey C is wrong. According to the Oldenburg medals, Major v. Bartenwerffer of the Generalstab didn´t have any Oldenburg medals. I´ve found the right one in the 1908 ranklist in Generalstab V.Armeekorps Posen. He promoted to Hauptmann 20.3.06 and in 1909 he served with 5th comp./Leibgarde-Inf.Rgt,.115 (Hessen) He had this Oldenburg medal: OV3b: http://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/oldenburger-haus-und-verdienstorden-ritterkreuz-2-klasse-mit-krone-1860.html Ranklist 1912: Chief of staff (3.Division Stettin), additional medal: RAO4, Hauptmann Ranklist 1913: Chief of staff (3.Division Stettin), Major (prom.1.10.12) Ranklist 1914: Generalstab der Armee, Großer Generalstab, Major

Hello Ed! Bayern was absolutely right. The regiment (a Hessen one), belonged in 1918 to 112.Inf,.Brig. (56.Inf.Div.) From july until October 19, the division was located near Bailleul (west of Armentières), then it fell beck back east of Roubaix. Novembr 8, it was near Avelgem (east of Kortrijk)

Great research, Glenn! Thanks a lot!

Ooops, I´m sorry. I wrote 16.11.4. I meant 16.11.14 GreyC was wrong. The Ranklist of honour says, he served again since May 20, 1914 as chief of staff of Inf.Rgt.117. But no entry in Ranklist 1914. His last job in the war was commander of 31.Res.Brig. (since May 1, 1918) Sec.Lt.: 13.9.84 Pr.Lt.: ? Hauptmann: 25.11.98 Major: 27.1.08 Oberstleutnant: 22.4.14 Oberst: 21.1.17 Ranklist 1886: Sec.Lt. in Inf.Rgt.111 (a regiment from Baden) Ranklist 1890: Sec.Lt. in Inf.Rgt.111 (commanded to Kadetten-Haus Bensberg) Ranklist 1895: Pr.Lt. in Inf.Rgt. 111 (commanded to Kriegsakademie) Ranklists 1899-1906: Hauptmann in Inf.Rgt. 111 First entries of medals in ranklist 1906: RAO4, BZ3bmE I don´t have the ranklist 1907 Ranklist 1908: Major in Inf.Rgt. 60 Ranklist 1909: Major in Inf.Rgt. 60. Added medal: Dienstauszeichnungskreuz No entry in Ranklist 1911 (I don´t have the 1910)

Hello! To me it´s a student cap. The cap band is the so-called "Couleur", that show the different students fraternities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couleur

Salut Christophe! Merci! I´m stil waitng for more infos about that meeting. A friend of mine lives next door to that village. Maybe he will find something...

Hello Glenn! Thanks a lot for those addtional infos!

I´m not sure. I´will ask a specialist

Do you mean only in that unit or generally?

Really a superb MP! Congrats!!!!!!! If you forgot it, it doesn´t seem to be too important for you...

It seems to be an adress. It would be easier to see the entire reverse...

What about the reverse? Is there a stamp because of the date?

Hello! I just recieved a badge for the Fahnenweihe (consecration of the flag). In this case Doppelfahnenweihe (double consecration of the flags) of Artillerie-Vereinigung (artillery-association) and bavarian Res.Inf.Rgt.Nr.16 "List" in august 1927 Trostberg (Bavaria). u.U. means "und Umgebung" = and vicinity

Hello Erwin! There was a Hauptmann Kienast in Pi.Btl.29. In 1918 all MW-Abteilungen and Züge built companies. But the MW-Komp. 253 belonged to the 53.Res.Div. That division was in Soissons in that time... They used to be at the Somme in spring 1918

Hi ixhs! Thanks a lot! But I have a problem with the date. Franz Graf v. Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth (Div.Kdr. 27.Inf.Div. since 2.8.14) - he is ok, he fits! v. Watter (since 15.3.15 kom.Gen. XIII.AK) Oberst v. Haas (Rgt.Kdr. 22.4.14-27.12.14 and 6.4.15-21.4.16) He had a break between end of december and april 15, but the regimental history told, that he lead an attack at de. 31! well - I assume he fits too But v. Watter! That is him, of course! But: 02.08.1914 39. Infanterie-Division = 7. Armee 31.08.1914 XIV. Armeekorps (replaced Ernst Frh von Hoiningen-Huene) 09.03.1915 XIII. (Königlich Württembergisches) Armeekorps (replaced Max von Fabeck) IR124 belonged to XVI.AK (Argonnenkorps) What did he do there at that time? Because of the snow it must be winter 14/15 Rommel left the legiment in october 15
