Nice photo. Did you ever learn his name?

Friedrich von Gerok. He's inspecting Detachment Rommel after it took Monte Matajur on October 26, 1917.

The full photo appears on page 244 of my book German Assault Troops of World War I.

You need to BUY it!

Ask Robin Lumsden. He has a copy of it. He'll tell you what he thinks of it.
