Guest Rick Research Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 They are members of a Landsturm unit (leather caps with large Prussian cross). From their 3-buttons cuffs and the cavalry pattern swords carried by the noncommissioned officers seated in front... I am confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Rick! Can you recognize any numbers on the collar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well Rick, the only way to indicate the unit are the numbers at tghe collar. The early Landsturm units had a number, which shows the Infantry-Brigade, which set-up the Landsturm unit. Later they became a Roman number for the army corps and an arabic number to show the unit of that corps. Becaus of the swords, please don?t forget, at the outbreak of the war, a lot of Landsturm units had parts of their civilien uniform, because there weren?t enough uniforms for all Landsturm units. So the men with the swords are NCO?s. Mabe tzhey served in a cavalry or artillery unit before? They could take the uniforms back home, so the ywore them in Landsturm unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
