The Prussian

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?

some close-ups:

and 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:

Oh yes, it was an easy work... I can´t write anything until next weekend, because I from tomorrow I work for an international company again. Next week I´ll be in Milano (Italy).

Hello Chip! He wears a 07/10 tunic, so the shoulder-strap pipings were still on corps-level. Swedish cuffs had the Garde-Rgt.zu Fuß 1-4 (5th had brandenburg cuffs). But the pipings of the 2nd Rgt. were red, of the 3rd were yellow and of the 4th were blue. I assume we see here white pipings for the 1st Regiment

Hello! Can you post a larger scan? Is there something upon the shoulder straps? Wich atelier-adress is on the photo? It´s probably 1.Garde-Regiment zu Fuß

Haha, Bettungs-"scheiß"-gerüst... That´s great... I hope, such a piece will never be invented... Well, back to the photo. The links are going to a railway-gun. First (in 1916), the 238mm L/40, was used in a bedding, later it came up upon a railway-wagon

Hello I.G.! Is this the one, you´re looking for? Found in the book "Artillerie im 20. Jahrhundert" (Franz Kosar)

Hello! In he book ""Mein Kriegstagebuch" (Goes/Cron), is recorded, that the II.Bataillon/Res.Fußart.Rgt.3 fought in the winter-battle of the Champagne (feb. 21st-march 20th 1915) under command A.O.K.3 I don´t think, the batterie was transfered to the east. I assume, it stayed in that area in the "trench-battles of the Champagne, march 21st-sept. 21st. The 5th batterie belonged to the II. bataillon The active 5th batterie had 10cm M14, and the bavarians had mortars. So you´re right with the Res.Fußart.Rgt.3

Hello! Last week I recieved the solution! It´s an inoffizial sign if the 227th inf.div. The star was the sign of that division. The two bars are unclear, probably the recon unit of that division!

Hello! Does someone know something about this star upon the soldiers shoulder strap???? Thank you very much!

I have found something... Beverloo had 11 bataillons and Warsaw 4 bataillons. But I couldn´t find out, how many companies each bataillon had. 4 companies and a MG-company?

Hello! Does someone knows something about the "Infanterie-Ersatz-Truppe Beverloo"? I´m looking for the structure and formation of that unit. Thanx a lot in advance

Hello gentlemen! I am looking for informations about an aircraft crash in Essen (Germany), on may, 6th, 1918. A Staaken R.VI crashed in heavy fog against a hill, 7 soldiers died by that accident. Maybe this accident was noticed in the Militär-Wochenblatt. If someone has informations about this incident, I´d be glad for a scan. Thanks a lot in advance
