Guest Rick Research Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Is it "87" or "37?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dwyer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's most definitely an 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 OK, so assuming Inf Rgt 87-- from Hessen-Nassau-- circa 1914/15 (Leutnant with pre-white underlay and holding LD2) there was no Lt dR in IR 87 in May 1914 who fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David M Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Wiesbaden is in Hessen-Nassau (former Herzogtum Nassau in this case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well, that certainly fits (?R/?L)IR 87. OK, since he's wearing M1910 uniform, is only a Leutnant, and has an LD2 last awarded in 1914...this must be early war. He'd have made Oberleutnant during the war.That means, since I can't find him in the dR Leutnants with an LD2 in IR 87 as of the May 1914 Rank List, that is a JUNE 1914 "final issue" invisible LD2.Checking names of infantry Leutnants dL in LWB Wiesbaden, as well as Lts DR in IR 87 from Wiesbaden-- no match from Daniel's WW1 Friedrich Orders with Xs labours.However the heck this Nassau guy got an early war WF3bX, he is NOT listed as from the unit whose uniform he is wearing.
