    9. I want to show you my collection of austrian and german cap-badges (Kappenabzeichen) with a german background. Tha means, either they are german ones, or austrian ones, that was worn by germans, or could have been worn by gemans (no photo-proof), or just an austrian unit under german command. I won´t show an Edelweiß, because about the Edelweiß we have a lot of threads here in the forum. 1.) Karpathenkorps A german unit (1. and 200. ID) 2.) b.8.Res.Div. A bavarian unit. 3.) 21.Korps In that corps was the group Seekirchner. An austrian unit, commande by bavarian Gen.Lt. Seekirchner
    10. I think I´m finished with collecting Edelweß. Last week I bought the ultimate one! That is originally that one, worn by the k.u.k. XIV.AK. Those Edelweiß were given to the Alpenkorps! The other is an austrian officer´s Edelweiß and my collection
    11. Hi Timo! Thanx a lot for the MIC of Frank Soar! That´s wery interesing. Unfortunately one can´t see, in bataillons the soldiers fought. You wrote, F.Soar used to be in the Balkans. Unfortunately I can´t read all of the script. Th huge paper says, that he fought overseas. So, according to my sources, He might have been in the 8th (sevice) bataillon of the Duke of Wellington´s rgt. That bataillon was formed in Halifax 1914 and in july 1915 it sailed from Liverpool for Mediterranean arriving at Mudros. 6..8.15 it landed on Suvla Bay. Dec.1915 to Mudros, 7.2.16 arrived in Egypt. July 1916 back to France. As far as I see, tha bataillon was the only one, that had served overseas. Do you agree?
    12. That´s strange. I´ve never heared about the word sergeant with "j". Probably french is the solution. I just recieved another 15 star. Maybe you have the MIC too... 16714 Private F. Soar, W.Rid.R.
    13. Hi Mervyn. I wanted to write to you, but the system says, you can´t recieve any messages
    14. Hi Timo! According to Evans you´re right! A have the entire trio of him. 15star is marked with Private and the others with Sjt. Question! Why sergeant written with an "j"??? It sounds russian...
    15. Glenn: Thank you for the tip for the book. Maybe I´ll get one... Dave: That was the sta upon the military flag. Are you sure, it appeared upon the cap too?
    16. Did China have a star like this similar to the japanese one? I think the guy is too tall for a chinese. He looks very "japanese"
    17. Hi Glenn! Thanx a lot! Which sources did you use? I haven´t seen any books about european uniforms, whose countries were not participated in the war. I´m not sure about the Japanese, but the cap seems to be japanese. What do you think? Could it be a german tunic?
    18. Nothing´s for free.. That´s normal... Enjoy your Guinness! Cheers, mate! Tonight I´ll have a drink on you with Calvados
    19. Hi Timo! These are fantastic informations! Thank you very much! I´ll riflfe through the files this weekend with a bottle of good ol´french red wine...
    20. Hi Noor! Thank you very, very much for the MIC´s. They are very intersting! I´ll print them out and it should look fine beside the medals!
    21. Oops, tha was a little misunderstanding by myself... Sorry. If you would pay for those charts, I d pay back to you immedeatly,if you could send me a pm. (If they are different to those, Noor showed in this thread). I could pay by paypal or bank transfer. Thanks a lot inadvance
