The Prussian

Hi Ulsterman! I´ve got some infos about the IR46, that he is NOT recorded in the regimental history. Unfortunately! Well, I just showed the military infos. Just after the war, at jan.1919, he used to be a teacher in his (and my..) hometown, Essen

The 2nd copy was too small.. Here is a close up

I´m still looking for informations about my grand.uncle. Fact is, he became Leutnant d.Res in Inf.Rgt.155. But what did he then? In the regimental history of 146 he was not noticed. Maybe a fault, it could be Inf.Rgt.46 (same army-corps as 155!) Does somedy know somethoing about Hugo Harhaus?

Congratulations! The pictures are very rare! I have only two photos of the 208. Once of the RIR65 and one of the staff of the division (just a single horizontal bar). Note the 208 sleeve insignis for the Fernsprech-Abteilung of the Inf.Div. 208. I still have another question to the photo of the car. Could this insignia stand for the Kraftfahrer-Abteilung of that division? A horizontal bar with a surmounted circle? I´ve never read anything about that, but it could be...

No, it´s better to take one with a ball for foot-artillery

Hello Chris! The top-pocket reminds me at the bavarian officers Litewka, but they had another collar. I think it´s a "mix" from an original bavarian Bluse 15 (introduced in Bavaria 1916) and some additions after the war. The stamp says, it comes from the bavarian 10th Inf.Rgt., B.D.III (Bekleidungsdepot III.bayer.AK) , distribution centre 342(?).

Hello KDVR! This one is the helmet of a One-year-volunteer of the field-artillery. I have seen this kind of helmet in the book "Spiked helmets of imperial Germany" (Tony Cowan), page 193.

I have this wonderful photo of a man from a Schneeschuh-Bataillon. Note the kind of wearing the Feldmütze like a beret... Looks frenchy...

Salut Christophe! What do you read at the reverse? Suwalki? I´msorry, but I must leave now,(shopping) but I´ll be back in a few hours. I have to hurry up, because we have a "journée des portes ouvertes de corps de pompiers volontaires"... You know, what that means... + = ( )

No problem, here are the close ups .

That´s my problem too... I´d like to know, which staff it is. Do I read "Suwalki" on the reverse?

Hello gentlemen! I have a similar photo!!! Unfortunateley I have problems with ID the old script... The card is dated from 26.7.16

Of course it is a rare thing!! CXhip, if you don´t have the Gluska plates, let me know, I´ll send you some scans next weekend. Now off with me down to Italy... Back at saturday (probably)

Hi Marcin! I think, it´s a quite rare shoulder board. Normally the Flügeladjutanten were staff-officiers, but I think they had deputies too. The Flügeladutanten were a chain link between the king and the armies or the army corps. Chip. I found the monogramm on plate 3 of the "collection of Gluska". It was shown in an edition of the "Zeitschrift für Heereskunde jan/feb. 1978.

This one is the shoulder board of an Oberleutnant as a "Flügeladjutant des Königs von Württemberg" ( "aide-de-camp of the king of Württemberg") It shows the personally "W" for Wilhelm II von Württemberg and the "R" for Rex

Hello! Many thanks for your work! Sad to hear that ther aren´t much ,more infos about the crash. The mystery thing is, that there were 7 soldiers died (I have all names and ranks), and one single man, who survived! I´d like to know, if he was a technican (civilian maybe)

Hello Ken! That would be very friendly!!!!!!! If I can do something for you, let me know!!!

Well, I think, the original recordings are all right... I read "Ostzug" too, but what shall it mean? Ost is east, that´ s clear. But if you mean a campagne, one would write "Feldzug". I think, "Zug" in this case means "platoon". Maybe the 5th batterie was divided in two platoons. A "West" one and an "East" one. Just an idea...

But probably you didn´t read it good enough... :beer:
