Joe,

These last photos are from one of several Garde infantry regiments that wore this "old Prussian" style collar and cuff Litzen. I'm a bit surprised that in so many photos there is no indication of the specific unit.

Best regards,
Chip

hey chip,
i broke down and carefully pulled out one of the postcards that was used, and this is the unit stamp that popped up.
S.B. 10/ F.B 5. G.R.z.F

so it is a garde unit, and thxs for the clarification on the uniforms thought it was some odd looking insignia on them for this time of the war.

Joe,

S.B. = Soldaten Brief.

10/F.B. 5.G.R.z.F. = 10th Komp./Fusilier Batl., 5. Garde Regiment zu Fuß.
