Ah, all right.... I´m sorry about my late response, but I was off in good old France with my lorry. That´s why I only can use this forum at the weekend. Your knowledge is phantastic. I have fou d Lt. Rühl i the Rangliste too. He was listed in the FAR61, how you wrote. But I ha´ven´t found something, that he was in the FAR43. Beside him in brackets stands: Naumburg a.S. That is in Thüringen. The regimental history of the FAR43 doesn´t show an officer named Rühl... Maybe this one is another officer, who had a love-affair to Mrs.Rühl?:whistle:

Hello Naxos Thank you very much for the infos!!!! That was a brilliant work!!!!!!!!!! I´ll hve a look in the phonebook, maybe there is a Rühl in that street! I wonder, how americans, or in this case, canadians, do have so much information about the german army. Your help was like xmas and eastern at one day... (german phrase...) Respect!!!!!!!!:beer:

Hi Dan! Thanx for your response! I haven´t checked the name around "Rühl", but only in the Rangliste 1914 and the Ehrenrangliste 14/18. There I couldn´t find name like that in the FAR43. The lady Else doesn´t have to be i n relationschip with him. I thought I could get his name because of the "Preußische Rettungsmedaille".

Hello gentlemen! I bought this wonderful postcard. Unfortunately I ´can´t identify him. Maybe he was a superior of my grandfather, who used to serve in that regiment in 17/18. Maybe one can identify him by the medal he wears? Which one is it? I think, it´s the "Preußische Rettungsmedaille", isn´t it? The stamp doesn´t show the number of the Feldpostexpedition, but the date. So we don´t see a year, it must be a stamp from 1914, because at that time, the end of war was expected at the end of 1914... But the most important thing for me, is to ID this lieutenant. Thank you very much in advance!

Freiwillige, You are right abouzt the length of the stripes. I said, your picture is probably not military. I just wanted to show, that there were stripes upon the upper-sleeves in officer-branches. I think the three stripes are an equivalent rang to the military ranks. Sorry, I can´t say anything about the "Z". It was only a guess. But "Oldlincolnian" said something logical to that. If you´ll get further informations, please let us know!

I can´t believe that photo with the "Z" is from 1923. Maybe dated, but that might be wrong. He wears a Bluse M15, that was not worn in the Reichswehr-era. The Z could stand for Zepellin or Zeughaus (material). Those patches could be worn in the 1st part after the war (1919 in the "vorläufige Reichswehr") But those patches were not official. If it is Zepellin, it must be an inofficial sign until 1918. The last photo is a post-war photo again. Those stripes were worn in that era, but the collar is not military. Police? Office?

Du sprichst deutsch??? Well, it ain´t too much pages. But sometimes there are only numbers written, and I don´t know the senses. You cán give me your email adress, so I can send you some copies in better quality -

There are a few abreviations and terms, that I don´t understand for 100%..... It would be very difficult, adding the translation in english... -

Yes, it would not be my work..... The more I read abozt that period, the more I am sure, that the map is the plan of the attack mof the 15th july. I compared the artillery units on the map with several books. It fits! The 3rd army didn´t fight against Reims, they shot southbound (direction Chalons) to save the 1st armies Marne-passing -

Here I want to show you the original plamns for a "Feuerwalze". In this case an attack from the Generalkommando XII. There are several field- and footart. units. But unfortunately it´s not dated. -

Oh yes, thank you!!!! Here is a stor, where you can buy hundreds of regimental histories on CD. They cost between 5 and 10€ each. Maybe he´s got that one too... -

Oh yes, I have that book too. But it´s not completely. The Footartillery didin´t belong to the Inf.Div.. They stood unbder diferent commands for several days or weeks. That book isn´t right for my search. I could need the regimentsl history (if there was one published...) -

Thanx, IrishGunner! As far as I have found in the vol 14 of the "Reichsarchiv", the 3rd army stood in the 2nd half of june northeast of Chalons in preperation the big attack against Reims (they had to clear the south-east area of Reims). Beacuse of the first attacks agains Reims started in mid-july, I think, my documents are "not-executed-plans" in that time (maybe done in july) -
http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2010/post-6460-126615959236.jpgHello Gentlemen! I am looking for the exactly position of the german I.Btl./Fußartillerie-Regiment 10 in the period from the middle of may 1918 and end of june 1918. I need the position, when the bataillon belonged to the 3rd army. It changed from the 2nd army to the 3rd army some time in late may 1918. The reason because I´m looking for those informations is, thet I´ve got an original attack order indcluding an original transparent paper of the planning of a "Feuerwalze" (to lay upon a map - but the map is missed...). Unfortunately those documents are not dated. One general order about realising a "Feuerwalze" is dated 30th june 1918, the attack orders have earlier order-numbers, so I am sure, the attack was planned before the 30th june. They are all stamped by the 3rd army. And because of the I./Fußart.Rgt 10 changed between mid-may and end-june, I´d like to localize the area that should be attacked. Thanks a lot in advance!
