    1. The one is "Kurrent", the other "Sütterlin". Why did he use both? I don´t know...
    2. I asked a friend of mine. He is a specialist in "reading" Gustav Gebert
    3. But the 1st letters of the names are different. To me it is a G and an H.
    4. The 2nd name seems to be an H-name. Gu. Heberts or Gu. Hebert. Oberjäger is right! Gustav? 18.11.17, the regiment used to be at the Piave
    5. I only read "Geberts", the first couod be "Einj." = Einjährig" but HOLY CR..! There is a signature of Oberst v. Rango!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    6. Phantastic! Where did you get them? I' ve never seen an offer like that
    7. Hmmm, that is the badge of the bav.8th.Res.Div. I can´t see a link between the 364 an the division... The regiment was under command of: 15.7.15-30.7.15: 29.Ers.Brig. (8.Ers.Div.) 3.8.16-26.8.16: ba. 8.Inf.Brig. (bav.14.Inf.Div.) 26.8.16-9.8.18: 66.Res.Brig. (33.Res.Div.) Temporary: 7.10.15-10.10.15: ? 10.10.15-8.11.15: 112.Inf.Brig.

    8. The 364th were under bavarian command in the first three weeks of august 1916 (bav.8th Inf.Brig./bav.14th Inf.Div.) But the 14th Div. was near Verdun, while the 8th Res.Div. fought at the Somme...
    9. The württ. Geb.Kan.Bttr.6 was set-up in march 1915. First (from may 1915 until february 1917) it was part of the bavarian Geb.Art.Abt.2, and came then to the württ. Geb.Art.Abt.4, where it changed with bavar. Geb.Bttr.12 Here is a map of 1915 in the Dolomites
    10. No. The first Inf.Gesch.Bttr. were set-up in september 1916. In Tirol 1915 was only the bavarian Geb.Art.Abt.2 Here is the original ordre of battle for Tirol 1915: Sorry, I was too quickly... That was the planned ordre of battle. I juts saw, that the Geb.Art.Abt.1 was in the Alpenkorps from march-september 1915! The Geb.Art.Abt. 6 was in the Alpenkorps since 1916.
    11. Hello! It´s not a monument for a specific Baden artillery unit, but for all Baden Gebirgs-Artillerie and Infanterie-Geschütz-Batterien.
