Are there both prewar and field gray examples?

 

[Jvpi]

All prewar uniforms or some field gray too?

It’s only up to 1914 so no. Base on the content of other books in the series I think the answer is also a no.

But I certainly would like to see they publish a more detailed book on Feldgrau besides the current one and the two text volumes.

Jv,

I see a copy of "your" Schloßgarde Feldwebel-Sergeant Karl Schmidt makes an appearance.

P.S. I answered your Bureauvorsteher beim Großen Generalstab question over at GMIC.

Very interesting:
Seen in
-J-L. Larcade Volume II - Chapter 8- page 139
And:
-in this new book "Adjutanten und Haustruppen"; Die Preußische Leibgendarmerie; page 340,
Gefreiter Karl FUß.
-the caption with the Larcade photograph: [showing Gefreiter Karl FUß wearing the Muster/Pattern 1889 helmet. Parade].

My translation:

"Gefreiter Karl-Friedrich FUß

2. Zug (Platoon) of the Leib-Gendarmerie.

He was awarded the Eiserne Kreuz 2.Klasse.

As the 2. Zug Leib-Gendarmen was disbanded at the Mobilmachung; he could never had earned this award within this unit.

The only possibility is: -Gefreiter Fuss rejoined his parent-unit at the Mobilmachung in August 1914.

Earning his award within this unit. Borrowing a Leib-Gendarm Helm (the Waffenrock was certainlyhis) to have this picture taken after the awarding.

Karl-Friedrich Fuss fell; September 5th 1918 - in the ranks of the 7.KürassierRegiment-"

“Im Kampfe gefallen”. “Fallen in combat”.

*the attached photograph: original
from the J-L. LARCADE Collection.
-used in Volume II-Page 139.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you for letting me know, that's very interesting! I'm still waiting for my copy. I wonder if the photo in the book was the exact same one as mine? The one with me has many scratches unfortunately. (Side Q: are there photos of Leibgendarmerie 2. Zug officers in Gala uniform?)

I appreciate your reply for the Bureauvorsteher beim Großen Generalstab! It helps a lot, sorry I missed it earlier.

Best regards

Hi JV,

the image of Feldwebel-Sergeant Schmidt appears to be scratch free, so presumably another copy.

There is one relatively small image of a 2. Zug officer in Gala uniform. Additionally, there are colour photos of an original officers' Galarock and hat.

Glenn
