I missed this! Going to be ordering my copy soon! Looks great!

Are the artillery guys German or French? The Kepi's they are wearing look a lot like the 1880 - 1910 uniformed French troops. Can anyone place the Artillery piece or the kason?

Yeah, it means you have to buy another case.

Ther's always room for another case

Thank you very much Daniel! The Bavarian Service Cross was the one I was shaky on. Thanks a ton for the id

Hi all, an easy question for you Imperial Guys, but what is the medal on the medal bar this priest is wearing? Thanks much in advance!

Portrait shot, I notice he looks a lot younger in this photo--I wonder if he was just reporting to the front. The photos of the chaplain later on show a lot of strain around the eyes; I wonder how much suffering he had to witness..

As requested: I've never heard of a cape like this

Nice display Chris!! They dont come much nicer than that!

Nice!! Now that has to be rare to survive in such great condition! Did the German Navy have regualr marine units attached to it like the US Navy does...or was it organized differently? Where these the same pith helmets that were used by the German forces in SW Africa during WWI?

Hey have you played Red Orchestra lately? I know it was not your favorite Peter, but the new map mods are fantasic!

Some uniform shots

The Pfarrer

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.

Larger group shot

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

I would get them into the acid free sleeves right away.

I loooove acid free sleeves :-)

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!!

Items of Bruno Loerzers!!!! Unbeliveable aviation items if all legit!

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!
