Chris Boonzaier Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Mathias Hampp, Born 25 Dec 1889, died 12 July 1916 at Verdun... I am guessing this guy was 3rd Jäger Regiment from the uniform? est Chris
Chip Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Chris, He was in the 1st company and was declared missing on that date. The regiment was withdrawn from Verdun on July 17th and went back to the Carpathian front. I have a Sterbebild from another 1st company member who was killed on that same date. I have three more from the 4th battalion who were killed the next day. Chip Edited May 26, 2011 by Chip
Chip Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Chris, You must be looking for the same ones I am. Have you noticed that if they say "Verdun" on them, the price nearly triples? I have also noticed that many of the men were originally in other infantry regiments. I guess it makes sense when you consider that this regiment wasn't formed until 1915. Here is another Verdun victim. Chip Edited July 6, 2011 by Chip
