Klaus P. Schad Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hi Guys, here is a dog tag of Ernst Kruetzfeldt from Kiel. Looks like he was called up to I.Ers.MGK of IX. AK and went after training to MGSS-Tr. 36. By Oct.1st, 1916 MGSS-Tr.36 was transformed into 3rd comp. of MGSSA of 4th Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulon57 Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Thank you for your help. I am still looking for photos (especially the shoulderboards) of this unit and of the 146th Infantry Regiment of Allenstein. Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Salut Thierry! Here are some photos of IR146. The coloured photo shows my grand-uncle. 1916 he promoted to Lt.d.Res. in IR155, then he came to IR146. With this regiment he was wounded in Macedonia. Unfortunately I don´t know, in which regiment this photo was taken. Edited May 11, 2023 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
