I've found some interesting pictures which some people might enjoy seeing, so I decided to post them here as well.
As usual, they can be seen on flickr as well:

Unit: Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 80
Rank(s): soldiers and a vizefeldwebel (front, center)
Headwear: M1916 Stahlhelm and some fieldgrey krätchen with camouflage straps
Tunic: Model 1907/10 Feldrock, Brandenburg cuffs, shoulder straps marked 80.
Awards: Iron Cross (front, right)
Buckle: Prussian “GOTT MIT UNS”
Accoutrements: Binoculars, M1916 gasmask in bag with spare filter
Ammunition pouches: M1895
Armament: several Gewehr 98, bayonet (S14 probably based on other picture), holstered Luger pistol, trench knive, boot knife. Especially interesting are several M1915 stick grenades (Stielhandgranate) and two rarely seen M1913 ball grenade (Kugelhandgranate). This type of grenade would fragment in 70 to 80 bits upon exploding. Score!
Trench configuration: Sandbag reinforced, firing port with armoured shield.
