Hi Chris!

I read:

Meiner lieben Schwärgerin Lisi

von ihrem Schwager

Karl Seinberger (or Steinberger), Pionier-Leutnant, Res.

gewidmet Augsburg, April 1915

herzlichen Gruß

In the ranklists I´ve just found a Karl Leinberger from bavarian 1st Pionier-Bataillon.

BUT...

Leutnant in 1900, Oberleutnant in 1908, Hauptmann in 1914

probably another one...

This one wears the uniform of the General-Staff (Pionier-Korps)

Ahh... well spottted, I thought it may be some Hoff uniform
