The Prussian

Hello! I have this Militärpaß (changed into Reichswehr-Paß) of a Jäger from Hannover. He served in different units, and fought in Rumania, France, Tyrol, Belgium, Italy and Serbia. There is an intersting entry from 1920 too! "Vom 14.3.-10.5.20 Unterdrückung der Unruhen im rheinisch-westfälischen Industriegebiet" (Oppression of the commotions in the industrial area of Rhineland-Westfalia)

I still miss your reply, IG, please...

Photos from Graf Schlieffen! Great collection!!!!!!!!

Hello Tom! That´s an intersting card. Could you please show the entire reverse and a larger scan of the photo because of the uniform details? What about the stamp? Is it 1915 or 1916? It´s hard to read. I agree with the Bataillon Rohr, because there are several postcards known, which the same sender-unit ("5.Poinier-Kompanie, Sturm-Bataillon im Westen") Im april the bataillon Rohr consisted of (I use the german terms) 4 Sturm-Kompanien 1 MG-Kompanie 1 Minenwerfer-Kompanie 1 Flammenwerfer-Abteilung 1 Batterie 10,5cm Haubitzen 1 Pionier-Kompanie But because the Bataillon Rohr called themeselves a Pionier-Sturm-Bataillon, those companies were called "Pionier-Kompanien" Glad to say, I couldn´t find a name "Zarges" in the list of casualties of the 5th companie

That´s right Chip, but when he used to be a Reserve-Odffdiver in the war-time, he could be an active one in a peace-Rangliste.

Hello Chip! Thanx a lot!!!! I just recieved the Stammrolle from Markus Seiler (not Martin) A strange thing is, when he wrote the postcard, he had left the Sturm-Kompanie... Stammrolle Markus Seiler.pdf

Another one: Sturm-Trupp Feldpost Nr. 951 D The Feldpost Nr. 951 belonged to the 6th bavarian Ldw.Div. 1., 2., 12.Ldw.Rgt. The division was located in Alsace near Munster

Why? Click on the list. Then bottom left "Full size" and thne + on the mag-glass...

Hello! What do we read right of the name? Here are the pages of the Marine Rangliste for the letter "R" The first two pages are from 1914, the rest from 1918. Maybe you find a match

Hi Chris! His helmet doesn´t have a squared visor, so he ain´t no cavallerist.. Yellow eagle = 2., 3. or 4. Garde-Rgt.z.F. (each I. or II. Bataillon, because of the white leather) Which colour is the shoulder strap?

Yes, I think so. I don´t believe there were enlisted men angaged in battles. Probably officers as observers. Some of the turkish officers wear the Iron Cross II

Hello! Does someone know, to which german units turkish troops were commanded? The photo is written with: Deutsche und türkische Offiziere, Flandern, 1916

The reverse is english.... Is there a list with german POW Officers in England? One of them is called Wiedemann. He wrote: In dankbarer Erinnerung an die Wasserfahrt, Ihr Wiedemann In grateful memories at the trip on water, yours, Wiedemann

Hi Chris! That was my thought too!!!!!! IF it is a cloth EK, the photo seems to be very rare, isn´t it?

I think there is something special with this EK I. What do you think?

Manonviller was bombed by Big Berthas too!

Nice documents and a great research of his actions! Well done, mate!

Very unusual! Nice piece!!!!! In the war Wilhelm v. Nathusius was commander of the "Munitions-Kolonnen und Trains Nr.4"

Hello! A friend of mine (who doesn´t speak english), asked me to open this thread here. He stays in contact with the family "von Lützow", and the family looks for all informations of the military career of each Freiherr v. Lützow. That could be photographs, documents and so on and so on. Photocopies or scans would be brilliant too. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Here I have a few turkish officers decorated with the EK II. The reverse is just written with "Turkish officers in Flandres. Summer 1916"

Thanks, PF! I also agree. So I just need the name of the man...

Hi Alex! Thanks for your opinion! Maybe I´ll find a person, that fits...

Hello! I´ve got two questions about that man. 1) Which order does he wear? 2) Does someone know him? Reverse unwritten, but stamped from an Atelier from Münster/Westfalen. We have: Litzen on white base = Infantery Verwundetenabzeichen = photo taken after spring 1918 Rank: Oberstleutnant Thanks a lot in advance, Andy

Hello Paul! I don´t think, you´ll find him in the Rangliste. He turned 18, when the war was over. Maybe this page helps you, but probably you know it: http://s400910952.websitehome.co.uk/germancolonialuniforms/georgia.htm

Hello Steve! Unfortunately I don´t have any items, but I´ve found a nice map of the 1 july. The Newfoundlanders were not mentioned in that map, because they attacked later as a reserve. The map is from the german General Staff recordings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaumont-Hamel_Newfoundland_Memorial http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/memorials/overseas/first-world-war/france/beaumonthamel http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/pages/beaumonthamel.aspx http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/memorial-newfoundland-park.htm http://www.heritage.nf.ca/first-world-war/articles/beaumont-hamel-en.php http://www.therooms.ca/regiment/part2_the_battle_of_the_somme_part1.asp
