Battle of Mons Lobsterback helmet

Bruno, private message in your inbox to buy "ce convolut"!😁
More seriously, interesting to see that Albrecht came from Riga (Latvia) and Sergeant Wolsdorff was from Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
Did you get it from the Albrecht family? It does not seem to be a vet bring back. Do you have a pict of Leutnant Rudolf Albrecht?
I really love those named things, for me, it´s the coolest way to collect!

Philippe, I got everything from the family in Stuttgart (where he is buried). There was also his portrait, but it was a painted picture that was huge. At the time I could not find a way to get the picture shipped and I left it. Now I regret, of course! I had received a photo of the painting but I cannot find it.
I did not know he was from Riga. Thank you for the info.
 
Unfortunately, the Kriegsstammrollen of the DR26 (as all the Württemberg Stammrollen) do not mention the officers...
But if you are curious, Bruno, you can order a scan of the whole original acts of Leutnant Albrecht that still are stocked in the Stuttgart archives. Just mail and ask at:

I already have done this kind of request a few times in the past, as well in Stuttgart as in Karlsruhe (for Baden officers). They are answering very quickly and it is quite cheap (25-30 Euro). You can pay after have received the scans, with bank transfer (maybe paypal too).
