IrishGunner Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Just when I think I got this shoulder strap stuff to a point where I'm confident, something comes along to confuse me again. So, here are two CDVs. Both taken in Thorn, Prussia. The garrison of Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr.11 The one with an artillery pickelhaube, is clearly...well...artillery. His strap is white with a "red" 11 - as expected. Now the second guy, with the great mustache and cool glasses - his strap looks white with a "red" 11 - but his has piping around the edge. This has the date 1906 on the reverse. I've looked at all the other "11" regiments; the only other one that is nearby is Dragoon Nr. 11 in Lyck (further east in Prussia). Except their strap is supposed to be "wine red" with a yellow 11. So, Chip... what's up with the different straps for Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr.11?

The Prussian Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Hi IG! May I help you too? Well, you´re right with Fußart.Rgt.11. The "black-white-striped" pipings indicates him as a prussian Einjährig-Freiwilliger (One-year-volunteer) Edited January 13, 2014 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
