What a fantastic photo, Joe! I love that mustache!!!!! Would you mind if I copied that and kept it in my photo file?

[joerookery]

Have at it Mike–there are lots of photos available for you to copy on Flickr. Over 1000. God bless and happy Easter.

An interesting one on Ebay....

Here is a postcard from the 1st Jäger Battalion...

Here's the other one from the 2.Jäger Bataillon. This series of cards has every pre-war Bavarian unit represented. I have yet to see one from a strictly wartime unit. I've also attached a couple more from this battalion.

Hello,

my newest entry. Soldiers of the 2.JgB Aschaffenburg

What a fantastic photo, Joe! I love that mustache!!!!! :jumping: Would you mind if I copied that and kept it in my photo file?

I'm not sure, but this officer could be Marquard Sleevogt, who was comander till 1910.

This picture of the book "Unsere Jäger" shows Sleevogt.

I'm not sure, because I miss the MVO Ritter second class.

I was lucky enough to get this almost untouched 1. Jäger Tschako from the mand great grandson (Who says ebay sucks!?) ... Andreas Mommensohn he served in Tirol, Verdun, Romania etc... wounded in late 1917 ... still has conwebs and bugs behind the insignia....
