buellmeister Posted May 15, 2017 Author Posted May 15, 2017 Heiko, Great addition. These guys certainly look battle hardened.
The Prussian Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Indeed! They do! Maybe this one fits in the collection? Both wished to be back home to their families and a cold beer... Edited May 15, 2017 by The Prussian
The Prussian Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 A brilliant photo, Heiko! Minenwerfer-Kompagnie 121 Formed 26.10.1915 from Schwerer Minenwerfer-Abt. 20 (later to Inf.Rgt.60) and mittlerer MW-Abt. 125 (later to Res.Inf.Rgt.7)

The Prussian Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Hello Stephan! A very nice photo! I only have a problem with the unit... Double-Litzen and the cypher with white pipings might be Gren.Rgt.101. But that regiment hadn´t been in the Balkans... It only served at the western theatre

The Prussian Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Ah, ok. Thank you! One single letter makes another sense...
buellmeister Posted May 21, 2017 Author Posted May 21, 2017 Gents, I'm way behind the times. I have to go on the hunt to obtain some more additions. I've been on the sidelines lately and certainly appreciate all of your contributions. Regards, Joel
Chip Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Hello Stephane!, Beside the cyphered shoulder strap, the soldier wears the typical Saxon field gray collar tabs with branch piping on his overcoat. This was done only by the Saxons. It would be interesting to know if his cap Kokarden are missing or if the cap is reversed? I have alway thought that Kokarden made excellent targets and wondered why they later covered only one of them. Chip
GreyC Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Hello, here another trench image, this near Höhe 304. It was a very contested point on the western side of the Maas on the battlefield of Verdun. Won by the German troops almost 101 years ago today (29th May 1916), it remained contested till the allied forces won it back on 22nd August 1917. GreyC Edited May 21, 2017 by GreyC
Farkas Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Hi gents these are mine..... No details of them sadly.... tony
Farkas Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Thanks Gents, i'll have a look for some more. there is something about each of them I think... tony
Douglas Jr. Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Here are some of mine. My major focus is handguns (mostly Luger and C96 pistols) in use, so trench pictures are not so easy to find. The first one, show a bunch of guy (maybe two brothers among them) with their gas masks and their Mauser C96 pistols tucked inside their holsters stocks. The reverse is blank, unfortunatelly. Here is a MG crew, some of them armed with Artillery Lugers (Lang Pistole 08). Nothing written in the back. Last one. Another MG08 crew, now with some of them armed with Mauser C96s guns. Again, nothing written. Edited August 5, 2017 by Douglas Jr.

I reckon this wise man has removed both. I think I can make out the circles on the above close up.... tony
