IrishGunner Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
