FAR43 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi Andrew!That´s right. The arm skull-head is the "Ostpreussisches Jägerkorps Gerth" Acording to that the "Hat-head" (nice word-game...) stands for the "Freiwilligen Jägerkorps Goldingen".This one served under russian troops in the II.Russian WestkorpsWe can´t say, where he served actually. Probably he must have changed. Gerth got his volunteers from the Inf.Rgt.150 (Allenstein/East-Prussia). It belonged to the 37.Freiwilligen-Inf.Div. Allenstein. Goldingen was built in november 1918 and belonged to the Deutsche Legion. I can´t see the missng link to both units, but both were Jäger. Because the photo was taken late in 1921, so it was almost the 100.000 men army. Reichswehr was strange... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freiwillige Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Andreas, this portrait isn't dated 1921! I assume you mixed the date with another recent portrait from this thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR43 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I´ve changed with the other photo. Sorry, but I´m ill and old... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom63 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Однозначно говорить, что на фото доброволец корпуса Герта, думаю нельзя.В последнем каталоге Инго Хаарке утверждается, что идентичные нарукавные нашивки были еще у двух фрайкоров - 1-го Гвардейского горнострелкового полка и Моторизованного отделения Кёртинга.Плюс такую же эмблему на нарукавной повязке носили добровольцы Бейтенской самообороны.
