Are you looking for a soldier with the name "Meyers" or "Meyer"? There is only a "Meyer" in the list above. It is one of the most common surnames in Germany at the time. If you are actually looking for "Meyers", you have to keep looking, unfortunately.
The skull on the helmet eagle was introduced for the I und II Battalion per AKO of January 27, 1912. Before that, it was a star with the ducal order of Brunswick of Henry the Lion. The III. Battalion, however, has always worn the skull on the helmet eagle.
