    That must have been a trip to the front. According to a recent book on "war tourism 1914-18" I looked into, there was a real tourism to the front going on among rear area officials, especially for members of the General Staff.

    Hi to all and Hi Rick... hope you are looking down to us.

    I can confirm, that the person of that pic is RR Fritz Zingler. I could get a jubilee photo of him a few years ago with his

    signature on the back. It was taken in 1915 - and shows his medal bar without the wound badge.

    Now i got Ricks photo from the shop of S.Wöschler so i have 2 pics of him.

    I think it is in good hands.

    I have never seen a non combatant with an wound badge. It is an absolutely rare pic.

    Yes - here we are.

    It was a jubilee photo because of his 50 years service 1865 - 1915

    Seems that he got the non combatant one early - the most of them were awarded post war
