Great collection, thank you for sharing! Cheers Chris

...not so quickly Ron, I've got another candidate! Stuart Sutherland in "The Organisation of the German State Forces in 1866" notes on P26 that Chevauleger was pronounced by the Bavarian public as "Schwolischees", that's quite a mangling! Cheers Chris

OK, I've done a bit more work on the project. I've decided to start it as a new website at http://www.imperialgermanuniforms.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as you'll see it's a work in progress which will take quite a while to finish up. Right now I've got the Jaeger and...

I too have made some terrible spelling errors in my time. One that I'm not very proud of I put on my website, then before I'd seen and corrected it, other people had copied my mistake and used it on more websites and forums... :o Ooops! Chris

Joe's just pointed out the rectangular badge on the left cuff... anyone know what that's for? Cheers Chris

What information are you looking for on these units? There's some information on the KB JR 17 here- http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/KB_IR_17" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Cheers Chris

She disagreed with the theory and put forward quite a strong case to back her up. Thanks Keith but no need for flowers. The bruises are healing up nicely and the doc said there'd be no permenant scarring... Cheers Chris

Great summing up, UKTC! Glad some of those photos came in handy! Cheers Chris

Another fine post UKTC... but isn't figure A rather than being a "Typical Ottoman Military Police Officer", is he not a South American air ace? I can't remember his name but that photo is very familiar... Cheers Chris

Nice thread Joe. Always good to hear more about German society in the Imperial era... Herr Funke might have a point there. I'll ask the wife for her opinion on that one... :D Cheers Chris

Great thread UKTC, good to see it all laid out here... and Pierre your page on the Huis Doorn is great too. I wonder why they do not display all the Kaiser's uniforms. If they did I would visit tomorrow! Cheers Chris

Welcome to the Forum Larry, Thanks for posting a great photo. The man on the far left is an Unteroffizier (roughly equivilent to a corporal) and has a marksmanship lanyard across his right breast. One small spelling point, it's a Tschako not Tschaka. Cheers Chris

Great photos again Joe... the East Asian cavalryman with fencing award (?) on his sleeve is excellent! Cheers Chris

Congratulations Pierre on another great article. I didn't know about the Crown Prince's exile before... Cheers Chris

This is all great research, thanks for posting it UK TC! Cheers Chris

Nice little collectiom, I especially like the askaris in the first card. Thanks very much for sharing them Ron. Cheers Chris

Hi Glenn, Thanks for the information, the Hacke Tau definition is great. Fascinating military slang from a bygone age... the Kolonialregiment is partially explained on the wesite I quoted at- http://sh-home.de/lolawolf/truebplatz/china/fuesiliere.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

Nice pic Joe! They appear to be part of the original Melanesian police force raised by the German New Guinea Company. Note the brown kepi caps with large Imperial cockades on the front. This kepi was replaced from about 1902 with a peaked cap with small cockade. Here's a later photo with the...

Thanks for that. Does it give any descriptions of the nicknames, like why they got them? Cheers Chris

Hello folks, I just stumbled across this website about the Lockstedter Lager training ground.... http://sh-home.de/lolawolf/truebplatz/china/feldzug.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This page is of particular interest to me as it gives the numbers of men, NCOs and officers...
