      Thanks a lot, mate! I see the plate is from 43-45. Probably the MN is not mentioned, because the photo was taken earlier?

      Chris: I don´t know, if "Life-Regiment" is the best translation. In former times a Leib-Regiment was translated with Body or bodyguard. That sounds strange today, but if you would translate it with Life-Regiment it would be "Lebens-Regiment" GreyC: The photo and the Soldbuch with the EW entry is absolutely phantastic!

      Hello Larry! Thanks a lot for the plate! Do you know, from which year it is?
    4. The Prussian
      Hello Farkas and Larry! Thanks a lot for your help!. Well, the crossed bars are supply. I was not sure with letters. MN or HN. But MN (Munitions-Nachscbhub) really makes sense!!!!

      Hello Gunnar! I don´t know. I only have the mentioned net-page

      Hello! The commander of Fl.Ers.Abt.7 was from 1915 - 1917: Georg von Tschudi http://www.frontflieger.de/2-fea07.html
    7. The Prussian
      I´ve got another unknown one

      Hello! In june 1919 the Landesjägerkorps formed the Reichswehr-Brigade 16. Each swadron was attached to an infantry-bataillon. There were two Inf.Rgt. (numbers 31 and 32) with three bataillons each. The bataillons in the Freikorps-area were numbered I-VI. The III.Bataillon became III./RW-Inf.Rgt.31 in Halle with one swadron and one battery.

      Great document, GreyC! After the Freikorps period, the tradition of Ul14 was taken by 2./Reiter-Regiment 13
    10. The Prussian
      Hello! I agree with 21 corps!

      Hello! Impressing photos!!!! I have two photos (one took from a boat to the sight of Villerville / Le Havre, the other taken form a trench) without words... ("We broke through the german lines and took 30.000 prisoners and 80 guns") and one from the eastern front... (it´s just a sign of a primary school in Wonjuw(?)
    12. The Prussian
      OK, he wrote me. You can show it!
    13. The Prussian
      Hello! As far as I know, he didn´t serve in the BW http://www.oocities.org/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/HEER/Generalleutnant/BOELSEN_HANS.html Why are most of the photos in this thread shown twice?
    14. The Prussian
      Hello! I asked my friend. I stil wait for the answer, but I think it will be ok
    15. The Prussian
      Hello! Above the photo I don´t read Noske; to me it´s a "Nr.13" (number 13, maybe number 18, that would fit to the number of the document). Here is another example of Noskes signature. (It´s from a friend´s collection)
    16. The Prussian
      Hello! Very nice pieces! Congrats! But i don´t believe that the signature is an original one. There are a lot of documents, signed by Noske and the signature always looks the same. Why should he sign a document of a simple soldier?
    17. The Prussian
      Hello! I don´t have any documents, but I have some infos about the formation. The Minenwerfer-Kompagnie 12 belonged to the 12th Inf.Div. It was formed may 9th, 1915 from the following platoons: schwerer Minenwerfer-Zug 57 mittlerer Minenwerfer-Zug 169 leichter Minenwerfer-Zug 283
    18. The Prussian
      Good choice, Chris! I recieved my book last week. I stil didn´t read it, but zapping through the book makes me sweat. I hope I will finish the actually book I read right now!
    19. The Prussian
      Hello! Right. Trade means Handel. In Rome the Caduceus was a symbol of Trade and traffic. There was a free day at may 15 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermesstab
    20. The Prussian
      That´s interesting! It looks similar. Do you know, what Handel stands for?
    21. The Prussian
      Hello! I haven´t seen an Edelweiß with thet needle. But it looks ok. I don´t know if they were woirn by the Alpenkorps, but it´s an original piece of the DÖAV
    22. The Prussian
      The Jg.Rgt.3 was raised in may 1915. It had an 11th company. But I couldn´t find a Lt. Münzel
    23. The Prussian
      Hello Chris! The right soldier in the last photo has brandenburg cuffs. Maybe divisional staff or ammo-column?
    24. The Prussian
      Hello Chris! In boith links you a have a look inside to the index ("Blick ins Buch") The first one is a summary of the history of the Alpenkorps, the second one has more biographies and reports of soldiers. I stil don´t have the second one, but it´s ordered!
    25. The Prussian
      Sorry, I can´t recognoize them. Because of the cuffs it´s probably Fieldartillery. According to the tinnies maybe bavarian 19 or 20
