Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 172

[Glennj]

Photograph of the escort and colours of 3. Ober-Elsässisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 172 leaving the Kommandantur in Neubreisach on 27 January 1912 (Kaiser's birthday). The escort officers are from left to right Leutnants Mittermaier, Böttger and Heinecke (all three survived the war). Of note is that the NCOs of the colour party are still wearing the old pattern greatcoat in 1912.
