Jock Auld Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 A few of gods chosen men. The group is Foot Ary Bty 262 stamped on the reverse.Jock:)
IrishGunner Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Some fancy guys... (and probably drunk). A nice Chapter 11 photo of 2. Garde Feldartillerie-Regiment.
Chip Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 An Unteroffizier from 1.Thüringisches Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.19; feldgrau shoulder strap shows bomb and number. Anyone able to read the name? I haven't read all of the posts yet, but in case someone hasn't already taken a stab at it, I think the name is Kurt Felzer and he is from the 2.Sächsisches Fußartillerie Rgt. Nr. 19. Notice the Saxon shaped shoulder straps. Chip

Chip Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 "... what I believe to be an Offizier-Stellvertreter in feldgrau with a metal number 3 on shoulder strap;" This is not an Offizierstellvertreter. They had lace on all edges of the strap except the bottom edge. This strap with the metal number and bomb is more typical of early postwar insignia. Here is a similar model simplified shoulder strap with the Offizierstellvertreter Tresse. Chip

Chip So, a normal Unteroffizier... in the post-war Reichswehr?
The Prussian Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Hi IG! Artillery shoulderf straps with metal numbers were those form Reserve-regiments. RFAR 3 (Stettin and Bromberg). Set up at mobilization, generally under command of 3.Res.Div. Edited October 4, 2013 by The Prussian
IrishGunner Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Metal numbers... Postwar or Reserve regiments... Back to being confused.
IrishGunner Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Bavarian gunners. Card has stempel of 1. Bayerisches Landwehr Feld-Artillerie
Chip Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Hi IG! Artillery shoulder straps with metal numbers were those form Reserve-regiments. RFAR 3 (Stettin and Bromberg). Set up at mobilization, generally under command of 3.Res.Div. It's true that reserve FAR units wore metal unit numbers, but they did not wear metal bursting shell (i.e., bomb) insignia. The bomb was the normal cloth insignia like any other enlisted man's shoulder strap. So I repeat that this piece is postwar. Edited October 16, 2013 by Chip
Chip Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Typical Reserve FAR shoulder strap (simplified M07 pattern). Notice the special "rounded" numbers are the same ones used for the collars of the Landsturm uniforms. Edited October 16, 2013 by Chip
Kornel R. Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I thought maybe some Artillerie photos were lacking, lets try keep it "uniform study".... He has the flaming bomb with 44 on the strap.... Sorry Chris it's not a photo , but got it already .... if you mind best regards Kornel ps. try to find some photos maybe letter ( have to go thru some )
Kornel R. Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 A Kanonier of the 2. Pommersches Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.17 with his wife and daughter. I really like these family portraits. The little girl looks so serious... Can anyone identify the model/type of sword he's wearing? Wow ! Bromberg - near my home town Thorn . ... I'm always touched with some regional stuff. best regards Kornel
Kornel R. Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) one more strap , this time related to 3. Garde Feld- Artillerie Regt. best regards Kornel ps. Andreas kannst Du stolz sein , dass Du so schoene familien Andenken hast ! mfG - Kornel Edited October 16, 2013 by Kornel R.
IrishGunner Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Here's a Bavarian Gunner ... the Swedish cuffs suggest Feld-Artillerie; however, the back of the card has the stempel for Bayr. Fussartillerie-Garnisons-Batterie Nr. 6. Quite possibe and even likely, but I just find it odd that Feld-Artillerie Gunner finds himself in a Fuss-Artillerie unit. Regardless, it's a nice shot of the MVK3X
The Prussian Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Hi IG! It must be a late photo. Every Fußart.Rgt. had an Ersatz-Bataillon. Since end of 1915, those "Garnisons-Batterien" were added, but they were called "Garnisons-Batterie beim Ers.Ntl. Fußart.Rgt.Nr. #", or "#. Garnisons-Batterie beim Ers.Btl.Fußart.Rgt.#. Since may 1918 they recieved their own numbers. In Prussia numbers 7-28 and in Bavaria 1-6 As far as I know, the Fußart.Garnisons-Batterie 6 was under command of the Gouvernment Lüttich (Liège). Commander was Oberleutnant d.Res. Fries Edited October 19, 2013 by The Prussian
IrishGunner Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Here is a Landwehr Unteroffizier, but his shoulder strap is unknown to me...and I couldn't find an example in my meager references; looks like a "L" ... Landwehr? Luftshiffer" Chip will know, I'm sure...
Kornel R. Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Just a bomb...and only a bomb. Landwehr? Hi ! this must be soldier of the 4th Field Artillery Guard Regiment from Potsdam . His collar insignia are invisible ... but I'm pretty sure best regards Kornel
Kornel R. Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 There is picture of one from my photographs collection . regards Kornel

IrishGunner Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Hi IG It´s not an L, it´s a Z. Feldartillerie-Regiment Zossen" Andy, thanks! Any idea about this regiment's purpose? Replacements?
The Prussian Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) The regiment was set up 1.6.1916 through the Feldartillerie-Schießschule. Later in july named in Feldart.Rgt.402 Edited October 20, 2013 by The Prussian
