The Prussian

Not that unit, but the divsion. Please have a look at at the attached map from 14. oct. 1915.

Yes that is according to the table in that book. You can see, that a lot of french and russian guns were used!

Hello Paul! You are right! They had the "Mörser." The long mortar, as I wrote, was introduced in 1916. My mistake. So they had the Mörser, 211mm, M10 with the L/12 gun, as you wrote! I attached such a beauty. Note the stil not-existing shield. They came with the M16.

I´ve got an atypicaly one. Not the script upon the helmet. This Landsturm unit shows the army-corps number too! XIII.12 (Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Ellwangen, Württemberg). In this case 3rd company (note the window on the right)

Hi Chris! That´s right so far. Because of the introduction of the steel helmet, since 19.10.1916 (KM Nr.1363/10) the were no more Tshakos ordered. But this photo is from 118. Maybe january? So he will be still in the training (not the old-style ammo pouches). Maybe one month later he came into fire. For a "last photo", it´s written very less...

Hello Chris! When the photo was dated, he was 18-19 years old, so it could be sure, he was sent to the front.

Hello Dante! According to his uniform, I assume, he served with the Garde-Jäger. He wears a Tshako with a guard-star. Because he has old-style ammunition pouches and missing Litzen at the cuffs, I think, here we see the Garde-Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon

I have checked the maps of the battle in the Champagne 1915. The X.AK belonged to the 3.army (like he wrote). The 20th division stood between Somme Py and St.Souplet. Their right-hand neighbour division was 24th.reserve-division (XII.Res.Korps), and the left-hand neighbour division was the 5th division of the X.AK. So, this artillery unit might belong to the 20th or 5th division. Now we need a list of all artillery troups in the battle of the Champagne 1915. An answer gives the book "Mein Kriegstagebuch" by Goes and Cron, 1935. The only number 6 was the III./Fußart.Rgt.6.(Belonged to the 3.army) So far so right! He wrote this! The 1., 2., 3., and the 9. company had the long mortars. Kraus will not help, because his books are about field-artillery.

Hi Marcin! It would be better to show us the Feldpost. A Mortar-Regiment had never been existed in the old army!

I have only one (until now...)

Hello friends! I´ve recieved a few photos from the Feldartillerie-Regiment 43. Does someone have a clue, what we see here??? Probably it has something to do with a cable winch (maybe for balloon troops). Could that be right? Note the circle in the second photo, on which the "thing" stands to turn round and round.

Thank you for putting it up to the top, mate! Unfortunately I don´t have any further infos. I could add, that the photo in Wooley´s book is dated from 1916. So we could preclude the Freikorps era

Hello mates! That s easy. The photo was taken in Marburg. There was the 11th Jäger-Bataillon. That bataillon became part of the 4th Jäger-Regiment (together with Res.Jg.Btl. 5 and 6). That regiment belonged to the 200th Inf.Div. (Karpathenkorps). The 4th Jg.Rgt. was set-up 4.July 1916 under Lt.Col. Lehmann (Jg.Btl.9)

No, it was not. I assume, he served with another unit in the AK, changed to the unit with the 8 and carried on wearing the EW

Thank you, Chris! What do you think? 6 or 7 pollens?

I did, matey,.. But it´s not big enough to recognize the badge ( 6 or 7 pollens)

It could be nice, Chris... but unfortunately only a thumbnail...

Hi Chris! Yes! I´ve seen a photo in the internet. Unfortunately I didn´t copy the page. Since that I´m busy in looking for that pic again...

Of course, mate! Here we go
