Additional photos, This is kind of out of order in the album, but I thought people might enjoy this. Again, I have no name but a possible George. The chaplain was from Munich as many of the photos are from a Munich photographer - so me must have been close. He was stationed with a Hospital, it looks like an established hospital rather than a front line unit. Here is the photo from the album with the hospital staff. I blew up two scans of the photo, it shows some really nice Red Cross uniforms and Nuns in the front row. Please let me know if you want any other part of the photo scanned. (the red cross visors are great!)

Hi Chip! Thank you for your comments! I also have never seen the neutrality symbol on the cape before, it was really a shocker when I got the album. Unfortuneatly I have found no name on any photo There is one of the chaplain as a small child with the name George on it, so the first name could be that. I am going to scan in some closeups of the portraits as I think they really show off the insignia well.

I was playing with the camera the other day and thought I might share some photos. Medical Officer on the left, named Heerespfarrer to the right

Thanks Chris! What kind of albums do you use?

Hello all, I wanted to ask a quick question from the photo collectors here. I got a nice album to a WWI priest in the orignal ablum. Many photos are lost, but many are there. The silver content of some photoss seems very high and unstable, so I keep them out of the light My question, should I leave the photos where they are in the album, or remove them, place them in a modern acid free album, and just mark where they came out of the original album (how is that for a run-on sentance )

Wow! An amazing story! Thanks guys for digging up that past thread. Some amazing history there!!

The website is fantastic Chris!! Awesome effort, even my wife was interested and she, but route, hate this "old military crap"

Hi all! thank you for the information. I was guessing he was a higher level in the Catholic church due to his dressing as Rick pointed out. How did one qualify for the Orders he was given? Were they purely time driven for position or where they for specific merit? Are they common? Thanks again!

Close up

Hello all, I picked this up from German ebay on a hunch (bad photo). It looks like an order of St Michael on this guys chest. I have seen these for sale in Thies' auction as well as Kube's. Can anyone tell me what they were awarded for? Unfortunately there is no name on the photo

You got it Chris! Those really are terrible I am going to rescan them in and repost.

nside there is a Purple cover also, anyone tell me why there were two? It looks like a different seal rather than the Prussian also.

Hello all, I bought this pre WWI militarpass several years ago. I know very little of these things, but since the price was right and it was so well filled out, I thought I would take a chance. I wanted to post some photos here, hopefully they come out. The pfarrer was a Rev Gottfried Bourquin, Bavarian as I understand Photos

Hey Chris! Awesome book! Is Rev Gottfried Bourquin mentioned by chance? thanks a ton!
