Certainly a mystery to me as well!

Please do, Steve!!

A fun aspect of collecting photos is occasionally lucking out on a photo showing the Hanoverian Gibraltar cuff title, as worn by Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 10, Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 73, and Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 79. I will kick off this post with my most recent find, men of FR73.

Woof... Frankenstein of a helmet.

What an excellent example!

I greatly appreciate your post! I, for one, didn't know what the medal was until I had the photo in hand and could research it. It definitely helped that I was able to make out his IR93 straps. A photo I am very happy to add to the collection, even though it does have a little bit of a double...

A photo taken April 10th, 1918 shows two German Army dispatch riders on their NSU motorcycles. You have to love the crash helmets!

A soldier of Anhaltisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.93 proudly displays his newly awarded Friedrich-Kreuz. Pretty certain this is the only photo in my collection showing this award.

Absolutely stunning. Easily could display in a museum now!

The last and only time I was there was in 2014... I really need to get back!

I totally agree, Steve! It goes to show that the Imperial German Army was full of variation, and thus why I love collecting these period photos.

I honestly don't think I would have the guts to fix one of these. Lots involved! Marvelous job!!

About as good as they come, in my books!

I got in this great photo yesterday, likely taken in the years immediately following WW1. MP18s, stacks of M1918 Stahlhelms, Tschakos, crash helmets, flare pistols, and flashlights can be seen. I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes!

Quite the smattering of services in this shot! I can identify: -Marine-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 2 -Jäger-zu-Pferd-Regiment Nr.5 (Mühlhausen) -Infanterie-Regt. Prinz Friedrich der Niederlande (2.Westfälisches) Nr.15 (Minden) -Kgl. Sächs.2. Ulanen-Regiment Nr.18 (Leipzig) -Infanterie-Regiment...
