    Just looking at this again. I thought he was in the active 1. bFuAR not the Reserve 1.bFuAR.

    I have a "sterbebild" to a soldier who was a batman - "Diener bei Oberleutnant Meiler im 1. kgl. Fuss-Art. Regt., 7. Batt."

    Died on 4 October 1914.

    I suppose the family (or printer) could have made a mistake and left off the "Res."

    Just found a online reference to Meiler's biography published in 1928:

    "Kriegsfahrten der Siebten Batterie Bayerisches Reserve-Fussartillerie-Regiments No. 1 im Weltkrieg 1914-1918"; bearbeitet nach amtlichen und persönlichen Aufzeichnungen von Hugo Meiler

    Guess the sterbebild is indeed missing the "Reserve" designation for Henghuber's unit.

    Interesting how one tiny missing detail can send your research the wrong direction. Thanks to Andy I'm on the right track.
