Chris Boonzaier Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thought this one was pretty neat... can anyone guess a unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Hessian Jaeger or Schuetzen regiment? Maybe... Kurhessisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 11? Duh... The badge on his cap is for the Karpathenkorps... Not a regiment. Forget what I said above... Edited January 5, 2013 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 So, from my short "research" the Karpathenkorps was the 1. Div (all Ostpreußische units) and the 200. Div (Jäger or Gebirgs units); so, knowing your "favorites" - I'd go with a unit from the 200. Div - but which one - I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hello mates! That s easy. The photo was taken in Marburg. There was the 11th Jäger-Bataillon. That bataillon became part of the 4th Jäger-Regiment (together with Res.Jg.Btl. 5 and 6). That regiment belonged to the 200th Inf.Div. (Karpathenkorps). The 4th Jg.Rgt. was set-up 4.July 1916 under Lt.Col. Lehmann (Jg.Btl.9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also saw one of the Karpathenkorps badges for sale the other day - no idea if it was original or not Edited January 12, 2013 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You might notice in the photo that the soldier is wearing the special, green and silver thread, Oberjäger Troddel. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
