This is described in the „Bekleidungsvorschrift“ for officers or „Bekleidungs-Ordnung“ for enlisted men (part 1 and 2). In one of the latest clothing regulation there is no special regulation that the „Feldzeichen“ was to be worn different in war. Here us a link the page about „Kriegsformationen“

Bekleidungsordnung: Th. Vorschriften für die Beschaffenheit und Unterscheidungs-zeichen der Bekleidung und Ausrüstung der Mannschaften

Hi Khukri,

Worn in the field until the AKO of 21.9.1915, which states that the Feldzeichen for Tschako, Husarenmütze and Tschapka are not to be worn in the field.

Regards,

Lars

Confirmed by numerous vintage photos.The Feldzeichen was too "target" ... It could be replaced in practice by the infantry Landkokarde on the left

This is also the reason why the spike on M15 helmets was often removed, when in action. Hence the reason why there are many M15's around missing their spikes.
