HIDE AND SEEKT

[filfoster]

OK, not strictly an Imperial German topic but thought I'd start here. Hans von Seekt often wore infantry regimental uniform (white shoulder board underlay, infantry officer collar litzen). I cannot find any reference to his being ala suite or honorary chef of an infantry regiment until 1936, the year he died, when he received the honor for the 67th IR. The photos are not distinct enough for my eye or computer, but look like a '6'.  Does anyone know what other regiments he may have been honored by?

PS. I note he appears to be wearing slip on style boards....unusual.

When v. Seeckt retired on 08.10.1926, he was granted permission to wear the uniform of the III. Batl. of Inf. R. 9
