MG1918 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Great image but a bit of a surprise how scruffy the section leader is! Cap pushed back, hands in pocket, fag in hand, tunic undone - cricket he could almost be an American! :>) Mark Edited March 13, 2013 by MG1918
MG1918 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Odulf great images......and they are all properly dressed!
Odulf Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Odulf great images......and they are all properly dressed! Yep, they are non in underwear, but these are all arranged pictures; not in combat. It is nice that shoulderboards are shown, indicating that all Infantry Regiments had MG-Units. I am more interested in the orgnisational structures, and not in the mechanical differences of the MG in practice.
MG1918 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 Having difficulty posting images at the moment. Anyone else having this problem? Mark
MG1918 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Nice sunny day so took my wooden friends for a walk.

Chip Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Given that the Bluse is being worn, the photo would have to be of 1916 vintage or later. Chip
MG1918 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Chip excellent input, thank you. Observations made by knowledgable members like you and Prussian help considerably.. Could you post some images of the various types of tunics? Mark

Römermann. He were awartet the EK2 and the black wound badge. He also has the MG Badge. I nearly has everything from him - just the "Kriegsehrenkreuz der Kriegsfreiwilligen 1914-1918" is missing.
