westfale Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I would like to show you also a picture of an award-ceremony; seems to be the kaiser himself is giving iron crosses 2nd class...
Deruelle Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Hi, It's not the Kaiser. It is possible for you to make a focus of the shoulderboard. With this we can see if it is the Oberst of the unit or a General. Nice photo Christophe

Nice photo ChristopheAhhh - I was given it's the kaiser, but really, I'm missing his orders like the grand cross of the iron cross... so who was the commanding officer of the IR11 (I think the 11 stands for IR11)?Picture will follow ASAPThanks for Info!

Guest Rick Research Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 You may get a more accurate identification from the ciphers on the soldier's shoulder straps. Could be Grenadier Rgt 11 or RIR 11 or....I'd say he's an Oberst with every inch of his boards covered by the cipher and pips. Can't quite make out the storefront signs as to language.Another clue is that he's going for a full gloved handshake-- the All Highest and v Hindenburg used to sort of barely touch their gloved fingertips to the calloused paws of The Lower Orders.
westfale Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Here the best I can offer - the picture has no 100% sharpness
westfale Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Here the best I can show of the man on the left side with his two ribbons; the words on the storefront seems to be french - the first one?looks?like "le"...westfale
Deruelle Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Probably Oberst Grumbkow ! I'm still looking for.Crhistophe
