joerookery Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Andy, I need pictures of German aircraft used in August 1914. Both lighter than air and heavier than air. Got anything? Yes another book. Number five this time I was trying to avoid Liege but it just is not possible. If soemeone has a 1, I can show a 2ps408 by Joe Robinson, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Chris : Nice photos each with a unique story behind . I observed that the saxon of IR 182 and the man of the RIR 13 both wears spurs with their infantry boots ¿ machine gunners , meldereiters ? The feldwebelleutnant of the IR 40 uses on his left breast a strange badge ¿ do you know what is ? . thanks for share . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Bayern, Those "spurs" you mention are not spurs, they are "Marschriemen" (also, Fußschoner). They were used to tighten up the boot around the ankle to keep the foot from slipping around in the boot and to prevent the boot being pulled off in the mud.

Bayern Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Chip : Thank you , Ihad never see previously these straps . quite useful in view of the tendence of a wet foot to slides into a boot like the german . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hello dante! Very noice thing! Interesting the two different green colours! A cover with green numbers like this was worn between mid/end august 1914 until november 1916. But we have Landsturm. Those units recieved their helmets in march 1915. The number is the number of the infantry-bataillon, which set-up the Landsturm-Bataillon (later they had the army-corps-number and the number of the bataillon). Here we have two possibilities: 1) Prussian infantry-brigade no. 5 (Stettin) or 2) Bavarian infantry-brigade no. 5 (Zweibrücken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2xvetran Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Well, I don't have much to add here but this one lonely Prussian helmet and cover. I didn't see a 29R in the pics so here it is. This came home with a 26th Engineer out of Jackson Michigan. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
