Fritz 9,945 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 This photo was forwarded to me just now. Pause after a battle. Apparently no description with this, so this could be one of several regiments, the shoulder straps have some sort of monogram, but unclear in photo. Field covers are worn on the busbys. Could be Husaren-Regiment 8, 13, 15 or 16 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz 9,945 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Husar Ewald Clauen Bollmann, 2. Eskadron Missing at Néry on 1. September 1914 - presumed captured. No further information, he is listed in the regimental history published 1931 still as missing. Another source stated that he was killed by artillery fire, no proof of this. These photos and these of his peacetime blue uniform are in a collection near Hannover, and were kindly forwarded by a historian in Holland. Regimental history simply states: Husar BOLLMANN, Ewald Clauen, 01.09.1914 bei Néry - 2. Eskadron, vermisst Husar Bollmann Top row, 2nd from the right, group photo presumably from 1913, as stated on the sign "Rekrutenstube 18" 3 NCOs in centre are wearing various types of Litewka, white summer lightweight and grey wool Litewka, note also rank insignia on collar. Pelzmütze, regulation sealskin issue for other ranks. Peacetime blue Attila for plain other ranks, fine walking out example Breeches, plain other ranks, light quality without leather insets, worn as walking out dress 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fritz 9,945 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 This Reservistenkrug was recently on offer, was sold rather quickly for a very cheap price, due to damage. The pewter lid is missing, the end piece still attached, there are also a couple of minor chips and the bottom of the Krug has a small hole punched through, said to be when the man died, that this was done so that no-one else could drink out of the vessel. Gefreiter Gerth served 1906-1909 in the 2. Eskadron of the regiment. Possibly he was a WW1 casualty. The names are all listed on the sides of the Krug, which is the advantage of these pieces as they retain a historical record.Einj. Frw. ChristmanEinj. Frw.

Gildwiller1918 6,323 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I have been seeing a lot of these type steins for sale lately. Some are very plain to heavily ornate, a huge collection must have been put on the market. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz 9,945 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 They don't always sell well, unless somebody is after a specific regiment. Of course the lists of names are very interesting, as these are probably all the surviving record of the names, as much of the documentation from 1867 till 1945 was destroyed in WW2. Steins of Husaren-Regt.15, when they turn up, and that is not so often, have been sold for around 750 Euros a piece, and no two are the same... Alfred Gottwald, 1892-1961, a family connection, had his Stein from Dragoner-Regiment 17 (Ludwigslust), but it was lost along with everything else in the bombings in July 1943. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz 9,945 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 These four photos were just received from the granddaughter of Otto Dierssen, who served in Husaren-Regiment 15. One of the photos however, shows soldiers from another regiment, identifiable as Mecklenburgisches Dragoner-Regiment 17 (Ludwigslust). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
