My Pioniere

Thank you all 😊 just need to replace the officers belt ( saxon one at the moment )

Does anyone know if the m15 belt without silver fittings do fit the Ersatz?
 
All nice helmets

My first helmet was a Pioneer in the 80s. I’ve always wanted an enlisted pioneer tunic to make a display.

Yes Steve, thats always the reason why such helmets have to be regimentally stamped as it should be!

In this case, in addition, wearer named on the rear visor and tracked in the Württemberg Kriegsstammrollen . Adolf Bruhns from the city of Lübeck, born 19.3.1889, electrical technician in civilian life, entered the 2/PB13 on the 1.9.1912. He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on the 7.4.14. He survived the war at the final rank of Feldwebel.

His military career first began on the 7.10.1908 at the Telegraphen Bataillon 2 (garrison in Frankfurt / Oder and Cottbus), till the 19.10.1911. Then he moved to the elsässiches Pionier Bataillon 19 (garrison in Strasbourg) before he finally moved to the PB13 in Ulm. Note that the helmet is also dated 1912, the year in which Adolf Bruhns moved to this unit.
Helmet was found May 2018 in North Germany in the context of a real estate succession.

Wow, that's really a killer helmet Philippe! Rare, beautifully preserved and with an incredibly detailed background on the wearer.
