The Prussian

Hello! Chip: Please read Kraus vol.1, B.II.3 Kraus writes, that Bavaria had also the crowned buttons at the Bluse. Because this Bluse doesn´t have a "reseda-green" collar, it´s bavarian Bluse!

Yes. That's right, Chip!

Hard to say, Andreas. Do ypou have better resolutions?

Oh, yes, you´re right, Chip, thanx for the correction! Cron wrote it in his book "Die Organisation des deutschen Heeres". My fault was "not thinking..." It must be 1.2.1918! Here the history of formations: 1.5.1915: Pi.Rgt.35, Pi.Rgt.36 (with two bataillons and trencgh-mortar-company each) -. dissolved 1.9.1917 1.9.1917: Pi.Btl.35 (was I./Pi.Rgt.35), Pi.Btl.36 (was I./Pi.Rgt.36), Pi.Btl.37 (was II./Pi.Rgt.35), Pi.Btl.38 (was II./Pi.Rgt.36) 22.9.1917: Gaswerfer-Kompanie 1 1.2.1918: Pi.Btl.39 22.6.1918: Pi.Btl.94-96

Hello! Here are my St.Étiennes

Fantasctic document! Châpeau!!!

Hello! The first gas companies were named "Desinfektionstruppen" or "Pionier-Formationen des Oberst Petersen" The first order to form a regiment was 29.3.1915. That regiment was Pi.Rgt.35 (two bataillons with 3 companies each). Then came the Pi.Rgt.36 wit the same structure,. Both were independent. In december 1916 they got one high command, the "Inspekeur der Gasregimenter" under the General der Pioniere in the GHQ. Later the bataillons of those two regiments were seperated. Because this was complicated, the inspecteur now was named "Kommandeur der Gastruppen". At this time (23.8.1917), the bataillons of those regiments became independent (Pi.Btl.35-38). Each bataillon now recieved a trnech-mortar company and one "Gas-Frontwetterwarte" (Front-weather-station). Later a few more bataillons were set-up: Pi.Btl.39 at 1.12.18, Pi.Btls.94 and 95 at 22.6.18 and Pi.Btl.96 at 1.9.18 (in addition the Front-Wetterwarten 408-410 and 419). So we had 2 regiments (four bataillons) and four bataillons later = Eight bataillons. IG, you forgot the Pi.Rgt.36

Oh, a very nice photo too! He is a father, so he wears his habit with a field cap! He was a Capuchin in Blieskastel

Brilliant photos, Joe! Thank you very much! I forgot to say, that the chaplain in the first photo in #10 is Divisionspfarrer Foohs (bav.23.Inf.Div.) Do you have a photo of a jewish chaplain? I´ve never seen one on a photo

Hello! An immense collection! I didn´tknow, Bulgaria had such a quantity of cap badges. It doesn´t belong here, but I have a bulgarian (worn at the cap or tunic) one from the first world war. It was worn by austrians and germans too. (who served near the greek border and in Macedonia under bulgarian high command). It says: Tsar ferdinand I, In memory of the liberation of Macedonia

You´re welcome, mate!

Here I ´ve found a translator, that was able to translate the entire text. Hope the translation is understandable... In the case of the family "of Vett« the Ermächtigungsweg was used for to still reach for dubious conditions in an at least officially recognized situation that allowed the namesakes to wear a noble-sounding name, the once established by ancestors abroad had been. Because in advance had already received in the 19th century Kaspar Detlev Vett as dortiger officer the Danish personal nobility. But the immigrants to Prussia son Detlev Heinrich Vett (1859-1927) was the nobility quite partake and therefore called himself "of Vett". As Detlev Heinrich was a career officer and this group since 1884 - as already mentioned above in the case Burstin - monitoring the Herald Office in relation to the defeated nobility property, [90] it was soon to investigations into the needle guide. The investigation revealed that the on 25 February 1881 to late Ratzeburg Revierförster Caspar leave following Ancken of offspring born of Vett from his marriage to Anna: Hermann von Vett (economist), Caspar von Vett (foreman on the railroad), Helene von Vett , Claus von Vett (lost), Detlev [Heinrich] of Vett (First Lieutenant) and Henriette Buddeberg nee of Vett. The family claimed to be altadelig without any documented evidence existed. These were then requested official hand. It was found that the deceased was the son of a Danish forester majors. The family led Tree allegedly date back to the medieval year 964th In a letter dated 13 November 1890 the Herald Office states Detlef von Vett "has submitted a direct petition for the Emperor and King Majesty, in which he asks for permission to continue the Almighty name" of Vett «". The Herald office asked now - as usual at Nobilitierungswünschen - at the provincial authorities to provide information on the personal, family and financial circumstances of the family members of Vett. The Herald Office pointed out that a lifeguard and a merchant listed in the Altona address under "from Vett". However, it did not know whether and how they are related. Henriette von Vett was married to Dr. Buddeberg. This had previously been "progress man," but would behave politically neutral for several years. It also inquired about the namesakes in Altona, who were the sons of a deceased veterinarian. The vet was a brother of the aforementioned forester. After all, the veterinarian was married to a born Grabau, whose brother was a professor in Jena. The Merchant of Vett was however sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment for the offense against the Bankruptcy Act in 1885 and fined by the police for repeated transgressions. Wealth they did not possess all but had their "good living". There were then checked other family members and namesakes. Lastly, in a letter from the Royal Herald Office of May 13, 1891 then "the Emperor and King Majesty in conformity with the most high-order dd Cabinets Berlin April 27 th 1891, the direct petition of the Premier-lieutenant and adjutant in the Infantry Regiment v.Stülpnagel, Vett, concerning the authorization to maintain the previously guided by him, stemming from Danish personnel Adel Adel predicate "v.", Hence the name "of Vett "rejected. [91] Nevertheless, it must probably be later was allowed to the non-aristocratic name "of Vett" to use, since it has been included in this notation in the rankings. As a colonel and commander of the Kulmer infantry regiment number 141 with the garrison in West Prussia Detlev was pulled from Vett the end of his career militairischen in the First World War, recently commander of 216.Infanterie Division and was eventually released as the Royal Prussian lieutenant general except services. [92] In early August In 1920 reached the officer, after it had probably been conflicts over the name management, authorize the name of leadership "of Vett," to be sure no one can attain nobility property here.
