Which Bavarian Uniform is this?

[Chris Boonzaier]

All the guys in the back row have "R18" on the helmet, as does the Flag bearer,

The Officer looks like he transfered from the Leib Regt, as does the senior NCO to the Flagbearers left?

Hello!

Which flag could it be?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi, unfortunately I cannot identify the flag, although I think the guy to the left of the flagbearer has the 3 patten in the sleeve which I think was unique to the leiber?

If they are bavarian... I´m not sure about the flag. Does it have blue corners?

Hi, definately Bavarian, .. I am thinking 18th Bavarian Reserve Regiment with 2 members of the Leib Regt who had been transfered. Usually they kept ther uniform of the parent unit, ergo the litzen and ärmelpatten

Maybe soldiers from difefferent units at a funeral

Aaaahhh sorry, my fault, I had not noticed I had cropped to fit the pic in. It was sent in early 1915 and has "Auf Ins Feld - Zum Gebet" ... what i meant is, I think this is the departure of the 18 Reserve Regt, and like all reserve regts its officers came from all over, including Leib regt.

Hello
the flag of the photo corresponds to the flag model of the III Battalion of 18 Infantry Regiment.

 

The I and II battalion had this other model:

 

In the photo, you can barely distinguish the blue of the corners

Hello , Interesting photo. the Ensign appears to carry a old model of ammo pouch ,black and studded with rivets . the Senior Nco looks like a Feldwebelleutnant and they are in the beginning of Helms ab zum gebet.
