Chris Liontas Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 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 understandPhotos
Chris Liontas Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) 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. Edited February 11, 2007 by Chris Liontas

Chris Liontas Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 closeup sorry about the crappy scans
Chris Liontas Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 One of the photos with his wife I assume
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 You master of the crappy scan you !!!!!What a great little group.Any chance of better scans for pages 4 and 5?
Guest Rick Research Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 REALLY bad too small scans-- except for the EK document and photo!MP simply shows annual reserve exercise attendance and conduct reports. The other entries are reporting in and out of address changes.I don't find any Bavarian awards for him, or non-Bavarian awards to him. Can't read where or when he was born.The Major "Boehm" who signed his EK document was from Infantry Regiment 43. He had been Adjutant of the 3rd Infantry Brigade in 1907 (Hauptman 27.1.06 Q4q), but retired from Infantry Regiment 175 1911/12 as a Hauyptmann with the uniform of IR 43. He's in the Honor Rank List as a retired Major, last in IR 175-- wartime command Etappen Kommandantur 142.You're lucky to have the PLACE there (environs of St Quentin) since normally they are just numbers.
Chris Liontas Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 You got it Chris! Those really are terrible I am going to rescan them in and repost.
David M Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 About the photo...are you sure its his wife...I mean bavaria is about 99.9% catholic and even during WWI there no exceptions on the celibate
Guest Rick Research Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I can read "Protestant" on his MP particulars.
Marcin L Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 What does it mean "ETAPPEN KOMMENDANTUR" ?
