    1. Hi Bernd!

      In "Die Hessen im Weltkrieg" you´ll find some battle reports of the regiment on 12 pages.

      The other book I mentioned is the regimental history, but it has only 188 pages, The Ers.Btl. is not mentioned.

      The Ers.Btl. was not at the front. It was formed August 8, 1914, probably through Inf.Leib-Rgt.117.

      First it was in Mainz, since October 1914 in Bierstadt (near Wiesbaden), since March 1915 in Sonnenberg (near Wiesbaden), since September 1915 in Lampertheim, since December 1917 on the military training ground in Darmstadt.

      Since December 1918 it was located in Auerbach, where it was dissolved December 1918.

      Unfortunately I couldn´t find the name of the commander of the Ers.Btl.

    2. Hello Lew!

      There is nothing special written...

       

      Lieber Emil!

      Besten Dank für Deine letzte(?) Karte. Ich bin auf einige Tage in Urlaub. Hoffe Dich aber bald wieder in Joht. (probably Johannisthal) zu treffen. Wann ich komme, weiß ich noch nicht genau. Es kommt darauf an, wie mein Urlaub genehmigt wird.

      Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen verbleibe ich mit herzlichen Grüßen, Dein Eugen

      Dear Emil!

      Thank you very much for your last card. I am on holiday for a few days. But hope to see you again soon in Joht. (probably Johannisthal) again soon. I don't yet know exactly when I'll be there. It depends on how my holiday is approved.

      I look forward to seeing you again soon with best regards, Eugen

      Düsseldorf 2.11.15

      The card goes to:

      Marineflieger

      Emil Hasenkamp

      Berlin

      Johannisthal

      Waldstraße 8 / Guillemot

      A Guillemot lived in Waldstr.8. So Hasenkamp lived as a lodger with Guillemot (he was Kfm. = Kaufmann = salesman)

      Johannisthal was the plaace of the Marine-Landflieger-Abteilung (Naval Land Aircraft Department)

    3. Hello!

      An interesting photo!

       

      He promoted to Leutnant 17.9.06, his first ranklist entry was in 1909 (already with KO4!)
