Chris Boonzaier Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Some time ago a dealer had this large Photo on his site... a friend recognised the picture from the history of the 2nd Jäger, and pointed me in the right direction.... Albert Brendel, commander of the Aschaffenburger Jäger 1900-1903... he died before the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Great portrait Chris, his medal bar certainly would not really have been a great help in establishing his identity. Oberst Albert Brendel died on 28 March 1903 as the commander of 15. Infanterie-Regiment. He only commanded the regiment for a couple of weeks before his death.

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi Glenn, thanks, yes indeed, a Medal bar identification would have been a long shot. It Languished on Northern german Dealers site for ages described as "Bavarian Officer".... Until a sharp eyed friend noticed the same photo in the Jäger history. Ironically it is a rarer bar than the same with an EK2 on it :-) Best Chrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
