Imperial Russia That`s what I call THE Group Photo
The Prussian replied to JapanX's topic in Russia: Imperial
Fantastic picture! By the way. Do you know a book in european letters, which shows the uniforms and the shoulder straps of the russian army? Info: The Life-guard Kexholmski regiment served with the life-guard regiments Litowski, St.Petersburgski and Wolynski in the 3.Guard-Division (XXIII.corps) in Warsaw -
Hello friends! I´ve got two pages of an ordre of v. Rango of the 3rd Jg.Rgt. The gaps are intersting. He didn´t fill in the units... But if we have a look at the history, it all came, like he did order! I attached a (german) translation and two maps to make clear, that these ordres were according to the first fights in the "Julische Alpen 1917" and the "Point 1114" The regiment was under command of the 200.Inf.Div. Note! It´s an original document, but the signature is probably not originally from v. Rango, because it is a dublicate, written by the regimental writer. He wrote it and set Rangos signature by himself. This way was normally. v. Rango wrote it first with his signature and the regimental writer wrote it a few times for the different bataillons.

Unidentified Early German Panzer..... Or not?
The Prussian replied to Odulf's topic in Armour, Vehicles, Ships & Aircraft
I'd vote for british target tanks too. It's not a german Balkenkreuz -
well, thanks a lot for your posts, mates. I'll check the battles of FAR 59, maybe I'll find something about Baumann. I have tge records if all higher officers in the war. No Baumann down to artillery regimental level. I'll check the infantry tonight. Even no Bauman on divisional or brigade level. I think it's a mixed unit, set up just for a period if time, like a big army attack

Hello Berhard! Thanksa lot. That is my thought too. With a better mag glass I could read a few more words! Kampfgruppe Baumann Feuerleitungsplan Batterie 1.?? Batterie 2.32 (?) Batterie 4.59 (?) Batterie 6.59 I´m sure with the 6.59 only Behind them I read Haupstellung witgh numbers and Wechselstellung with numbers. Because of the Foot-artillery bataillons didn´t have 6 batteries, I assume, we have field artillery regiments. Unfortunately a date is missing... Generally the FAR59 belonged to the 15.Inf.Div. The Res.Rgt.59 belonged to the 77.Res.Div.

Do you have photos of soldiers in WW1, who became well-known later? Let me start with two careers: 1) Leutnant Erwin Rommel (I think, I don´t have to tell, who he was...). He is the first officer, who marches in "our" direction" 2) Leutnant Richard Pellengahr during a visit of the Krupp factory (later leader of the 196.Division in Norway and Denmark. He also was involved in the planning of that operation "Weserübung": http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Pellengahr
