    3rd. company of either:

    Füsilier Regiment "General Feldmarschall Prinz Albrecht von Preußen" Nr. 73 (Hannoversches)

    or

    Infanterie-Regiment Nr.79 (3. Hannoversches)

    The names are

    Offizierstellvertreter Richter, Breuning, Hauptmann Reinking, Lohrengel

    (In 1909 Reinking was a Leutnant in Infanterie-Regiment Nr.53)

    Time: 1914 or early 1915

    "Gibraltar" cuff title was worn on 3 button cuff uniforms by Infantry Regiments 73 and 79.

    "Richter Brenning Hptm Reinking Lohrengel" first photo

    "III. (SIC!!!) Komp

    Hauptm Reinking

    OffzStellv Richter

    Lohrengel

    Brenning"

    reverse inscription

    From the fact that they are wearing pre-war blue tunics, the officer in old style fatigue duty Litewka jacket, Richter with P-08 holster, and the rank title "Officer Deputy" this must date at just about the outbreak of the war. Perhaps into 1915 if at home.

    Reinking was a Hauptmann der Landwehr Infanterie I. Aufgebot in Landwehrbezirk Braunschweig when the war started.
