I collect Sterbebilder from the 3.Jäger Rgt., which consisted of four companies, two Bavarian, one Prussian and one from Baden (nominally Prussian). I have only found examples from the I. and IV. battalions, which were the Bavarian battalions. Evidently, this printing of cards was more a tradition in southern Germany (which was predominantly Catholic).

This Jäger was killed in the storming of Fort Souville at the height of the Verdun battles in June of 1916.
