Hello! The FK Hindenburg was set-up feb., 13th, 1919 in Kolberg to protect the GHQ. It came from the protection-company of the GHQ (Sturm-Btl. 2, 5 and 7). In march it was raised to: I. Sturmbataillon (later in october it became II./RW-Inf.Rgt.110 in Celle) II. Garde-Gren.Btl. (from Garde-Gren.Rgt.5 Spandau - it became later in october IV./RW-Inf.Rgt.102 in Kolberg) Kavallerie-Regiment: 1. (Drag.Rgt.16 Lüneburg) 2. (Jg.z.Pf.Rgt.5 Mülhausen) 3. (Garde-Ulanen-Rgt.2 Berlin) The badge from FK Hindenburgf was "Collar-oakleaves with an "H" Leader was Hauptmann Otto They fought battles in Hannover and became later under command of the Division Münster during the action in the Ruhr-area (where I live...) At the beginning of those fight, they stood between Münster and Lüdinghausen. (By the way, my grandfather served in the FK Wesel, but he left in early 1919) The Gruppe Division Münster was led by Generalmajor v. Preinitzer The Untergruppe Hannover was led by Oberst Freiherr v. Ledebur The II./Res.Inf.Rgt.110 (I don´t know, why it´s called here "Reserve" - source: Darstellungen aus den Nachkriegskämpfen dt. Truppen und Freikorps, vol.9) with the Sturm-Btl. 2,5 and 7 were increased by 4./Res.Art.Rgt.10. The map is from "Das Buch vom deutschen Freikorps-Kämpfer". Note: The town south of Münster is called "Lüdinghausen"! The written-down town "Lüdenschd" für "Lüdenscheid is wrong! Lüdenscheid is south of Hagen

IG Are you sure with Mun.Kol. 863? Because I haven´t seen a helmet cover with a bigger number than 1000, I assume, the ammo columns didn´t have written helmet covers. (IF they had, they would have the numbers of the shoulder straps. Note, that the ammo colums wore the numbers of the active or reserve artillery units!) "Your" man could serve with the Feldartillerie-Battarie Nr.863! Set-up 21.11.1915 (XVII.AK). Ersatztrupppe: 2.Ers.Abt./Feldart.Rgt.81 Under command of 36.Res.Div.(1916) and from late 1916 8.Armee. Armed with russian 8,69cm Feldkanone. Like mine 833. (VII.AK) Ers.Abt./Feldart.Rgt.58. Armee with russian 8,69cm too

That makes sense, but I don´t understand, why they created a wrong shoulder strap??? The 19 with a bomb can´t be squared ones! Never! But here is the proof...
