What kind of regiment is it?

[Eichenblatt]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

Could I ask for your help in assigning epaulettes to a regiment?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and kindness in answering.

In 1914 the Infanterie Regiment von Grolman Nr.18 (20th Army Corps) epaulettes would have had a blue background. However, the "Atlas des Deutschen Reichheers " published by Carl Henckel in Dresden in 1901 lists the regiment as being in the 17th Army Corps but with a yellow background.

Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 18 wore yellow straps/Epaulette fields as a component of V. Armee-Korps (until 1 April 1890) and XVII. Armee-Korps until its transfer to the newly formed XX. Armee-Korps effective 1 October 1912 when it received the colour light blue.
