Deruelle Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 You are right Rick, Santa comes earlier this year. I have two more photo. First one is the Generalmajor Goerg Postel who received during WW1 the following orders : SH3, SA3bX, EK2, RE3X. During WW2, he received the oak leaves to his knight cross. Christophe

IR 134 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Were did you get the Postel-pic? He was an old 134er Gruß Stefan
Deruelle Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Stefan, I found this card on ebay sometimes ago. Another interresting photo. Have a look Christophe
Deruelle Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 Close up of the shoulderboards and the ribbon bar
Deruelle Posted December 18, 2009 Author Posted December 18, 2009 Oberstleutnant von Arnim, winner of the SH3 Christophe
IR 134 Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Still wondering, which unit the Leutnant in post 254 belongs to. I have absolutely no idea which saxon unit wears a Number 9 on the shoulderboards :(
Guest Rick Research Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) Yiyiyi... "9" takes us nowhere... it must refer to a Brigade or ??????????? That generic M1915 tunic doesn't help BUT-- note that there are TWO layers of different underlay under his Hauptmann/Rittmeister shoulder boards-- a Waffenfarbe and a second layer. No collar Litzen... 1) SA3bX or SA3aX 2) EK2 3) Must be SLD2-- he's got to be a RESERVE Captain (I am positive there are 2 pips there on his boards) 4) ? 5) BMV4X 60 Hmmm...... HT? OK2? Will work on this offline. Edited December 18, 2009 by Rick Research
Guest Rick Research Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 He's almost certainly a Rittmeister dR-- The double Waffenfarbe/Vorstoss is our only clue-- confined to SchRgt 108, many (not all) cavalry units, and Pioneers (thought that would be the other way around with the black plush darkest on bottom not top... I've found two more Saxon "9" units-- Ersatz Regiment 9 Though I cannot find what division that was in) and Reserve Ulanen-Schützen Regiment 9 in 8. Kavallerie Division. :(
Deruelle Posted December 19, 2009 Author Posted December 19, 2009 Thanks Rick, I will continue my research. I received this photo. King of Saxe with LIR Nr. 107. He congrats Oberst Hopfgarten. Christophe
