Naxos Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Gefreiter from the 5. Westf?lischen Infanterie-Regiment Nr.53. The board would be blue with red cypher, the Brandenburg cuffs have white piping. Barmen is located about 50km from K?ln the Garrison of the IR53.Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmosher Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) 1. Badisches Leib-Grenadier-Regt. Nr. 109, XIV. AK garrisoned in Karlsruhe. It appears that the NCOs in the middle are not from that regiment, based on the Brandenburg cuff and lack of litzen. Most appear to be wearing the feldgrau Friedensuniform, which would date the photo to post late-1915. Looking at the older equipment and age of the soldiers, they are most likely a reserve unit. See if you can get a close-up of the helmet plate on the soldiers at the ends.Dave Edited September 1, 2007 by dwmosher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
