    Harry has added a sideshow article dealing with the 36th Sikhs in China 1914. The Fall of Tsingtao saw Germans, Sikhs and Japanese soldiers sharing the same battlefield.

    By cross referencing award documents from Sturm Bataillon Nr.5 with the History of Sturm Bataillon is was possible to pinpoint the action for which Adolf breuer was awarded his Iron Cross 1st class. Sturmbataillon Rohr in the fighting around Craonne.

    For those who have difficulty tracking the passgae of the different Jäger battalions during the war, THIS should be a big help.

        Some more goodies...

        Harry has an article up about the 58th Vaughan's Rifles (Frontier Force) describing their campaings in some less than hospitable regions... Egypt, Palestine, Somaliland and Portuguese East Africa.

        Also, a small tribute to Father Jean Desonay, one of the key Belgian resistance agents during WW!, along with his British War Medal.

          I have been working on some new texts related to the Alpenkorps, they are not yet finished, but I am happy to be able to show some rare photos of men of the 2nd Bavarian Jäger Ersatz Battalion in Aschaffenburg going through basic traing in 1917 HERE

              Harry is almost at the end of his Somaliland Operations history, this time he covers the Operations against the "Mad Mullah" in British Somaliland from march 1915 until October 1919. HERE

              On the left is a very impressive Medal bar to a senior NCO in I.R. 126, please follow the link for further details HERE

              I have had no time over the last month or so, but hope to make up for it with 2 more updates this month.

              Its been a busy few weeks again so a big thanks to Harry for holding the fort all alone again...
              Harry's Sideshows once again covers something you will not find anywhere else.... Indian Military transport troops in Macedonia 1916-1918

              A rare document, the Iron Cross 1st Class awarded to Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Leopold Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz as Military Governer in Belgium 1914.

              As usual Harry does not dissapoint with an article covering Military operations in Aden 1914 to 1915



              April 2015

              Kurdistan.... we all know it from the news everyday.... Almost 100 years ago there was another conflict in the region. Harry's Sideshows has an article about "Military Operations in Mesopotamian Kurdistan during 1919" HERE

              An small addition to the Alpenkorps section is the Battle Calendar of the Bavarian Leib regiment 1914-18 HERE

              March 2015 Part 2

              The Kuki Rising 1917-1919

              Shahbash! The Kukis led the British on a merry dance for 18 months armed only with ancient muskets, they carried no packs and had no supply trains or medical support but they knew their own country well and how to live off it and fight effectively from it. They were a tough and fierce adversary who commanded the respect of all who went up against them. HERE


              March 2015

              The 29th Punjabis in British East Africa September to December 1914

              Harry's Africa covers the Punjabis fighting in the thick African bush HERE


              January 1915

              Japanese Attack on Sarawak in December 1941 and the fighting withdrawal of 2/15th Punjab Regiment
              “…a feat of endurance which assuredly will rank high in the annals of warfare… It says much for the morale of this fine battalion that it remained a formed and disciplined body till the end."

                September 2015 (2)

                I have finally finished the 1st part of the Bavarian Jäger at Lagarde, the Baptism of Fire of the Aschaffenburger Jäger as seen by the Battalion Commander Oberstleutnant Ernst Lettenmayer. Also included are a number of award documents to Lettenmayer that I was lucky enough to find earlier this year.


                Harry has not only a bumper article about the The 2nd Battalion The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment in East Africa 1914-1917 but also a selection of Photographs that show the beautiful but deadly countryside in Africa


                Some time ago I posted the list of Officers who served in the South African Mounted Brigades in East Africa, from the list it is possible to see what an incredible percentage of men were invalided due to disease.

                  The "Leiberring" was one of the most covetet awards that could be presented to a soldier in the elite bavarian Leib Regiment, a unit that took part in all the campaigns of the Alpenkorps.

                  Harry closes of the hunt for the Mad Mullah with the closing campaign in British Somaliland 1920

                    Top rate, as expected.

                    Incredible, and something to be very proud of.

                            Harry has a fantastic Side Show detailing the Japanese Advance towards Kohima in 1944

                            An addition to the “Leiber Ring” article showing a Pre War Commercial Ring by the firm Deschler in München

                            A collection of German Feldpost parcels from WW1, An unusual selection featuring the various ways used to send food parcels to the soldiers at the front.

                            The Feldpost stuff is very interesting if you have always just thought of Letters when you heard Feldpost...
