The Prussian Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi sef! The left one wears black cuffs with white Litzen, so it could be a member of the "Garde-Pioniere", or one of the "Verkehrs-Truppen" (traffic) The 2nd one wears the MG-Scharfschützen-Abzeichen and a 12 on the shoulder straps. So he should be in the "MG-Scharfschützen-Abteilung 12" The former name was "Scharfschützen-Abteilung 2 of Armee-Abteilung Strantz". It consists of MG.Scharfschützen-Trupps 59,117, and 153. Formed 1.oct.1916 (Garde-Ersatz-Division) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
