    I think I´m finished with collecting Edelweß. Last week I bought the ultimate one! That is originally that one, worn by the k.u.k. XIV.AK. Those Edelweiß were given to the Alpenkorps!

    The other is an austrian officer´s Edelweiß and my collection

    According to the unit history, Garr was wounded on September 28, 1918 and died on October 17th. At the time the unit was experiencing the "Stellungskämpfe und Schlacht in der Champagne". Nice Sterbebild! I collect the ones from this regiment.

    Chris,

    No, I had not seen those, but now I know who is outbidding me on 3.Jäger Rgt. Sterbebilder! :lol: I have one of these. The one to Leonhard Sinzinger, has the spelling corrected on the first name to Bernhard on subsequent cards. Evidently, the printer screwed up the name and had to fix some of the cards.

    Johann Echter died from his wounds on July 6th, 1916 (good catch on that one!).

    I didn't see any Hampps in the regimental history on those dates.

    I'm still working on a complete alphabetical listing for the entire regiment. The regimental history gives the deaths by date. So finding Konrad Fuchs without knowing the death date is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps the location (St.Marie a Py) might provide a clue as to the date?

    You can see glue rests on the card, they glued a Bern over the Leon ;-)
