Gibraltar Cuff Titles

[k bandow]

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.

Very nice. I must ask though……in the second photo I have never seen collars with 3 stripes on them before ?

Certainly a mystery to me as well!

This insignia was discussed at length at the German language Feldgrau forum.

The four infantry regiments of the 1. Reserve-Ersatz-Division removed their shoulder straps and received "pencil width" stripes on the collar as follows:

RER 1: White
RER 2: Red
RER 3: Yellow
RER 4: Blue

It further seems that the number of stripes corresponded with the number of the battalion: I, II & III.

Vizefeldwebel Willy Kober, 28 February, 1919 in Reserve Lazarett II, Ziegelhof, Oldenburg. Sporting the Gibraltar cuff title, but unsure of the regiment. Either Füsilier-Regiment 73 or Infanterie-Regiment 79.
