The Prussian Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) No mate. No chance to ID. Is there anything written on the backside? Edited March 14, 2009 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin L Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hmm, yes, there is a short description on the back.And here is the whole picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Are there more names on the backside?I think, the photo shows a manoeuvre. In M?hlhausen weren?t no saxon units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi Marcin,in August 1912 there was a Kaiserman?ver from the III. AK und XII. (I. K?niglich S?chsisches) Armee-Korps.I think I see (infantery-) spikes on the helmets (with saxon-plates), so (maybe) following units are possible:23. Division (1. K?niglich S?chsische): IR100, Gren.R.101, F?s.R.108, IR18232. Division (3. K?niglich S?chsische): IR102, IR103, IR177, IR178There was also a maneuver in the year 1912 around Gotha (M?hlhausen-Erfurt-Meiningen-Rotenburg, Th?ringen)But I don't know from which Armeekorps (maybe it was the same Kaiser-maneuver from august 1912 ???) Normaly in this area the XI. Armeekorps wearing the Gilt-Line-Eagle or the "FUERST"-Gilt-Line-Eagle with Wappen.But all Infantry Regiments 101 through 107, 133, 134, 139, 177 through 179, 181, 182 are possible.?Best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 There were not many Johanniter Rechtsritter in the Saxon Infantry in 1912.Here are the two I found:Oberst Georg v. Gersdorff of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 104Oberstleutnant Traugott Graf v. Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 133RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The poor jiggled focus on this doesn't help. IF this had been of ONE identified unit there would be SOME hope but these officers could be from every single regiment in their Corps... and the image is BLURRED badly.

IR 134 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmm, yes, there is a short description on the back"Sachsen Zeithain 1912"Zeithain was the training ground for XIX. Armee-Korps, so i think the picture was made during manoevers ath this place. That would also fit with the units IR 104 and 133.Regards Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Oops, that?s right. "Sachsen - Zeithain"... I didn?t see the easiest solution. I thought it would be names of the officiers. Stupid me... Edited March 15, 2009 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
