IrishGunner Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 An easy way to collect Bavarian artillery. Sometimes a way to some interesting research; although, I haven't yet researched any of these fellows. First up, of course, Kgl. Bayer. 1. Feldartillerie-Regiment Prinz-Regent Luitpold or simply bFAR1 Gefreiter Otto Bauer; Unteroffizier Luitpold Ellwanger; Kanonier Andr. Reischenbeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E Williams Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Seeing all these death cards brings back memories. When I was living in Bavaria back in the early 90s, there was two guys I use to send these cards to. They were all over shops and flee markets, I'd buy them for a mark, maybe two and send them on and sell them for $10.00 guaranteed. I had a nice gebirgs collection back then, both WWI and II and most coming directly from vets. All the old Gebirgs Kaserns were still in use too by the same old regiments.

IrishGunner Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Ed, I often wish I had been interested in collecting when I lived and traveled in Germany, esp Berlin, in the 70s and 80s. Oh the collection I would have....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the collection I would have....... Before Gebirgs I collected Luftwaffe and Heer, this would have been in the mid to late 70s. I lived right around the corner from a shop who sold both jewelry and what ever vets brought in to sell. Hesse was his name and did I get some nice stuff from him.

spolei Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Kgl. Bayer. 3. Feldartillerie-Regiment Prinz Leopold Unteroffizier Jakob Weigl; EK2, MVK3krx, Militar-Verdienst Auszeichnung, Verwundeten Abzeichen Hello, thanks for showing us these deathcards. It is very sad to see, that most of this young men died at the end of war. Intersting are the professions of the soldiers "Hausbesitzerssohn" = son of a house-owner, "Zementwarenverfertigerssohn", that is very difficult to translate. I think it was a son of a worker, who pave out or firm up on building sites. Edited November 13, 2013 by spolei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
