Hello
I add a link for the readers of my book to download and print one additional appendix (Annexe 4) that I made and I have removed of the book because it was exceeding a number of page set by the publisher.(one page in excees !!)
It concern all the AK (Armee Korps) in 1914 with all components units (infantry, artillery, cavalry, Jäger ....)
It is in the same size and layout as the other appendix of this book; so you can print this one and integrate it at the end of the book (with a slight cut of 2mm in width)

Nice reference Bernard! Someday we will have to sit down, share a glass of wine, and complain about publishers! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/
 
I poured over this book at Tony Schnurr's this summer. In fact, there are many pics of helmets from his collection in it. I am still hoping to buy one at the SOS and perhaps save some coin. If not, I will break down and buy one from France. It is an excellent reference book.
