Chris Boonzaier Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Only one helmet cover can be recognised with a "3".... but some pretty cool photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I like that first picture very much. I even like the way the European style of post box hasn't changed over the last 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Hi Chris! The 1st photo shows a sign from the Sanitätskompanie 50. This company belonged to the 50th Inf.Div. Unfortunately the was no unit with a 3 in that division. The men on the right seem to wear Garde-Litzen with brandenburg cuffs, don´they? So I assume Gren.Rgt.Nr.3 (1st.Inf.Div.). Both divisions fought together in summer 1916 near Verdun (Caillette-Wood) and in summer 1918 near Château-Thierry (Reims) Edited December 3, 2014 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Andreas, I think you are correct about the Grenadier Rgt. Nr.3. The cyphered shoulder strap in the second photo looks to be that regiment. The piping would show up as black if it were the yellow piping of the Garde Gren.Rgt. Nr.3. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 I saw a photo that really, really intrigued me.... a group of soldiers with Picklehaube with e "3" on them, and displayed in front of them, on a Pyramid of 3 rifles, a bavarian Jäger tschako... I could not help thinking that it may have been 3rd Jäger Regiment men with their Bavarian Tschako in front of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
