Joe, I cannot find this in my refs, any idea which Armee-Korps the 61 Landwehr Brigade fell under? And if so, that should tell me what helmet they wore. Already checked Das Deutsches Heer in the color plates, I cannot find 61 Brigade.
Just what I needed Joe, thanks very much. Its very interesting, that a Brigade that did not exist until 28 March 1915 would still be producing red shoulder straps and Dunkelblau Waffenrock. If the date is correct, that really extends the time into the 1st war that Dunelblau was still being worn and manufactured. Much appreciated.joerookery said:So I would guess Prussian. Isn't that a long-winded answer?!
