The Prussian Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hello dante! Very nice one!!!! Inf.Rgt.17 became in 1919 Reichswehr-Schützen-Rgt.7. That´s right. In the Freikorps-period, it belonged to the Freiwilligen-Landesschützen-Korps (Roeder). The II.Btl./RW-Schtz.Rgt.7 came from Halberstadt (Brigade 4 Magdeburg). The battle is not Angermünde, but Tangermünde (near Stendal). That fits to the Brigade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Mr P many thanks for the info...sorry for the spelling, doing my best!! whats your thoughts on the EK1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hello dante! No idea because of the late EKI. But I have seen a few MPs like this. That was very possible. Because of Tangermünde, I didn´t want to be a teacher... , but there was an Angermünde too. Two different towns. But Tangermünde fits perferctly to the IV.AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Very interesting Militärpaß! Maybe his late EK1 was a delayed WWI award, they had a lot of medals which were recommended in 1918, but never awarded or only later during the early 20ties.

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 EK1 looks fine, just the right time for a post war award.... He was always "Vorzüglich"... seldom see a pass with that in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
