What is the stuff in the upper corner of the pic?

[SteelhelmJim]

No sure what that stuff is . It's dry and hard. Hmm...:-)

[SteelhelmJim]

Can't anyone read this stuff?

[Kraal]

Can only read it partially.. 3rd line.. Zur Erinnerung an (im rememberance of)... 1908-1910

Pretty hard stuff

[SteelhelmJim]

Kraal, thanks for the effort :-)

Hallo Stahlhelm,

let me give it a try .....

" To my dear Coporal ..........

in memory of the errors (Irrwege) when stationed at the border 1908 - 1910

.............

2nd Lt - Bavarian Inf Rgt No 8




The picture had been taken in Metz (Elsass) and it seems as if this Lt is

referring to some reconnaissance missions when they got lost ....

Elsass became "Reichsland" (State Territory) after 1871 and thus you

find troops from about any kingdom in Germany ....

even my dear grandfather had been stationed there !

Regards to Texas (I had been in Ft Woltors)

hi Stahlhelm.

don't get me wrong .....

"b. InfRgt No 8" could also read : "badisches InfRgt No 8" ...

let the uniform specialists determine ......

Regards

Wolf

[SteelhelmJim]

Thanks for that possibility, Wolf.

Wolf is right. 8th Bavaria Infantry Regiment (8. bayer. Infanterie-Regiment Großherzog Friedrich II. von Baden), stationed in Metz.

Lt. Johannes Müller. In the 1909 Bavarian Militär-Handbuch, he was a Lt. in the 8.Kompanie. According to the Ehrenrangliste, he died just before the war, on 17 May 1914.

Regards.
