WW1 Regimental flags

[FRONTENAC]

Steve,

Can you give me some information regarding the feldgrau dress wear by my Flag bearer? Does he wear the uniform wear at the beginning of the War (his shoulder straps looks feldgrau to me)?

I am far from an expert on Telegraph straps.
Mike Kelso is the member to ask.
I know they were red early with the lighting bolts
later they had a gray strap with a " T "

In my collection a couple of Telegraph straps
the T 2 is a true Feldgrau
T 7 is the regular gray color

Yes.

Is it possible for you to date approx. this photo?

Here is the information on the Telegraph units.
T B 1 ; 2 & 3 were formed in 1899
All 3 of them would on the flagpole have 1900 Banderole with clasps that have the dates on them.
T B 4 1908
T B 5 1913
T B 6 1914
since they were formed after 1.Jan.1900
they would not have the 1900 Banderole with the clasps

All 6 flags were taken to Russia after WWII

This regimental standard has only the 1900 Banderole without the clasps, best I can tell, so according to my reference that would make it TB Nr5, Königsberg (1913) or TB Nr6, Hannover (1914)

Then it can only be TB No.6. Munster, where the photographer was based, is near Hannover. Königsberg is many hundreds of kilometers away.

Thanks again Steve for your comment/information.
Can you provide some images to show the difference between the two types of flags?

Very good information and deduction! Thanks!

I think that all but one of the Telegraph flags were the same except for one
All like the one in your photo, except for the 1900 Banderole streamer.
Here are some of the 1900 Banderoles in my collection.

I R 92 and H R 17
Some years ago, a collector friend of mine
was there and took these photos and sent them to me
I wanted to show them before I filed them away.
The H R 17 flag has an 1813 Iron Cross pole top
Very rare

G R 5 was raised in the year 1689

Thank you
Years ago, when I first saw photos of the trooping of the
flags of "Der Alten Armee "by the "new Army "
I saw those Sakular banners
and I never even dreamed that I would some of them.
Here is a photo from 1935
