Last one for today
Jager Batl officers shoulder straps
Including Saxon Fusilier Regt 108
The Pre War underlay was red in color
later changed to green
which I find much harder to locate

Very nice

What year did these units change from red to green underlay? It looks like JR108 has double underlay.

F R 108 does have double underlay .Black Velvet over green .
A real beauty IMO .
I am NOT good on remembering dates
most changes were in 1915
I will have to refer to Mike Kelso 's book
to see if he gives an exact date .

All that I could find in Mike Kelso's book about
the Jager change to green was just the year 1915
no month or day .
