Major von Gilsa

[Chris Boonzaier]

The title is all I have on the man.

Does anyone know what regiment he served in? For some reason I seem to remember another photo for sale with an artillery connection.

Thanks

In 1914 there are 4 officers by this name - 1 Major, 2 Hauptmann and 1 Lt.

With the exception of the Lt. all served in Artillery Regiments.

But only one of them is a Johanniter Ehrenritter - Hauptmann (1914) von Gilsa - Stab of FAR25

I would agree. Hauptmann Erich v. Gilsa of Großherzoglisches Artilleriekorps, 1. Großherzoglich Hessisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 25. Note the cuff Litzen of which members of this regiment were entitled to wear.
