Jef Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Gentlemen, Recently I bought this pic on Ebay. Pic was taken in the village where I live. Unfortunately there are no buildings in the area. In this way I cannot situate where it was taken. I was wondering if someone can help me with information about the Germans on the pic who got their EK. Attached is front and Backside. So far I have not researched the Regimentgeschichte Kind regards, Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a translation from left Kaliz (company commander 6th comp./IR 106) (I am not 100% certain of the spelling) Capt. Poeschel (Hans) Batl. commander III./IR 106 Lt. Zitzschmann (Ewald), company commander 12th/IR 106 received the EK1 from Kaiser Wilhelm II. at a parade near Vichle (??) Flanders Capt Poeschel received the saxon St. Heinrichs medal on 10.11.1915.

South West Flanders, Belgium Thank you for the translation Andy, I was not sure about the names...your post is most helpful Ulsterman, and what says that bell about Hauptmann Poeschel...?
