    Some photos of this unknown NCO (perhaps we can find out more about him)

    Gibr735.jpg

    onthe back of this picture is written "Emden Weihnachten 1915"

    Gibr737.jpg

    and here is a detail: showing a picture of his family, Adventskranz with its four candles (one for every Sunday in December), a picture of his daughter and one of himself.

    With the above picture came this gray, thick envelope

    Gibr739.jpg

    In it were two portraits of the NCO, still wrapped in cellophane

    The first photo shows him wearing a Feldwebel uniform with the number 73 on his shoulder strap - button indicating 1. Kompanie.

    Second photo shows him in the same uniform but with a different rank and regimental number

    Offizierstellvertreter (cannot quite read the board number - the second digit appears to be a 5)

    Nice clear photos Hardy. I don't think I have ever seen the additional items from the photographer before. It's a interesting grouping.

    Is it Infantry or Fussilier Regiment 73. I have one unit hisdtory of Fussilier Regiment 73 (Gibraltar). May I can get some name ideas based on the company.

    Daniel,

    Sorry Hardy, I can't make it out.

    Thanks again Chip;

    it does not look like a 3, more like a 5 - but who knows
