Thats our man, he died right afterwards.

[The Prussian]

The casualty lists mentions him in bavarian 3rd Inf.Rgt. But I couldn´t find him in the regimental history.

I also couldn´t find him in the Red Cross lists of POWs...

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

 

can anyone read his first name?

Thanks

Chris

[The Prussian]

No idea. The second name seems to be "Schultheiß"

[Utgardloki]

I pretty sure it is "Lina Schultheiß"

[The Prussian]

Lina is possible. But that´s a female name...

[Bayern]

Looks as Ober Gneuss , Ober for Oberleutnant i suppose. the collar of his tunic is interesting . no Bavarian Borte , and appears as if he had retired a patch of the collar sides . Bavarian is ,the Lion buttons are clearly visible

[GreyC]

It is Lina Schultheiß.

Sure he's Bavarian? He is writing to Saarburg after all.

Good question... it is hard to tell as he is wearing an Überrock.... which in itself makes me think he must have been very at home in Bad Tolz.....

However, even google does not have a Schückinger?

HI!

It´s not Schückinger, it´s Oberleutnant Hermann Schützinger, born 23rd April 1888 Bayreuth. He is in Bad Tölz, probably in a Vereins-Lazarett, because he was severely wounded while with 11th Bavarian Infantry Regiment. He was slightly wounded again in March of 1917. He started the war as Lieutenant and left the Army before 1926 as Hauptmann.

Magic GreyC, thank you.... he does indeed have an 11 on the shoulder...you saved him the indignity of landing up on ebay again!!

Off to my 11th BIR binder he goes...

Hello!

Thun is alright. In that time some words with t were written with th. (Grammar rules before 1900)

Ah thanks, I somehow link this in my head to texts around 1800, I didn't know this was done to such a late point.

[Chris Boonzaier]

A wonderful Militärpass in this group....

Can anyone figure out what "Mitgemachte Gefechte" he had in 1920?

[Dave Danner]

Hi Chris,

"10.4.-30.4.20 Unruhen in Sachsen"

Thanks dave, I only recognised the "In" bit ?

Ahhh... OK, has to do with the postscript to to the Kapp putsch.... "Als Reaktion auf den Kapp-Lüttwitz-Putsch bildeten sich in Sachsen, Thüringen und dem Ruhrgebiet während des Generalstreiks linksgerichtete Aufstandsbewegungen gegen die Weimarer Republik. So kontrollierte beispielsweise die "Rote Ruhrarmee" mit 50.000 Bewaffneten bis in den April 1920 weite Teile des Ruhrgebiets. Die revolutionären Aufstände wurden mit Hilfe von Reichswehr und Freikorps niedergeschlagen. "
