Insignia on the sleeves.

[kaiserburg]

Hi, I was wondering if there was any insignia on the sleeves of German soldiers during the 1st World War. I had seen the MG Patch before and Minenwerfer, but are there any other things?

That's a really terrific photo. I've never seen a picture taken of the prizes being worn in the field.

Thanks for sharing.
