E Williams Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Take a look at this photo and look at his arm badge. Looks like a silhouette of a MG but look at the oval. Looks like a home made job if it is a MG background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Probably a telegraph troops badge of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Do you have a larger scan please? To me it looks like an aero or telegraph oval Edited November 10, 2013 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolewts58 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) It's a '23' in an oval. So, I'd say it's Flieger-Abteilung. Edited November 10, 2013 by bolewts58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So it´s Flieger-Abtl. 23 Lb. Set up jan.,11, 1917 from Feldflieger-Abtl.23. The Lb means "Lichtbild" (Photogarphic unit) The unit stood a long time in Guise (near St. Quentin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
