Face Without A Name

[Guest Rick Research]

This original postcard sized photo has long bugged me... if ONLY he'd been wearing his ribbon bar!!!

Wearing late-war subdued colar patches... Commander grade Friedrich Order X and only the EK1 visible.

He is not shown in von Moser's "Die W?rttemberger im Weltkrieg."

I'm guessing that, dressed as he is here, this was taken DURING the war, rather than afterwards when wearing a uniform was a "dress up" not "dress down" matter for retired officers.

It is a shame you can't ID him. That look in his eyes makes me think he was a real tough opponent. Good uniform shot. I had the chance to buy one just like it that belonged to Duke Albrecht of Wurttemburg and had to pass on it as it was rather expensive. It was $3500 when normal feldgrau uniforms were $500. I wish now I had just sold some things and gotten it.

Interesting, focused gentleman. Hope he gets a name.
