Hi Graham!

Thanks a lot! The second one is brilliant!  The photo is taken from the regimental history. The officer is Lt.d.Res. Wilhelm Unbehaun. Company leader 9./95

 

Photos of that cross are pretty rare. I will receive one this week. I´ve never seen photos from "front soldiers". Only from Carl-Eduard.

The Prussian,

Thanks for the info on Lt.d.Res. Wilhelm Unbehaun. Company leader 9./95. Do you know when the photo was taken?

Hi Graham!

I will have a look in the book this afternoon

Here is the photo.

No date mentioned. But there are two dates k.i.a. September 1918.

Unbehaun received his cross January 26, 1918.

So the photo must have been taken between end of January and September 1918

Great info. Thanks.

Hello!

Here the photo of Hauptmann Deines. Leader III./Res.Inf.Rgt.82 (listed in IR95)

The card is written with "Meldegänger Mai 1907 in Walincourt" (It must be 1917!)

Meldegänger = Runner

Note the stars upon the upper arms!
