Thats a really, really, really, really cool pic with the wagons with the MGs.

Can I use it for the kaisers cross site?

Thanks

I wonder if it is not unusual for the 26 year old Lt to serve in a landsturm Batln?

Maybe he was badly wounded before and was not 100% up to regular service standard?

Chris, of course you can use it.

In "Histories of 251 Divisions of the German Army" regarding the 6. Bav.Ldw.Div it reads:

"All the young men were taken away from the Division, except those in the Machine-Gun and Assault companies."
