    YEH, I guess that they haven't found out that there tunics have pockets that can be used for the carrying of items?

    all kidding aside, does any one know why the SPEIS'S of the different branches seem to have done this practice? I have always wondered why?

    Dear toot,

    Maybe some kind of tradition survived, in the former (Prussian) Army of the German Empire the "Spiess" ("etatmaessige Feldwebel") carried the book in this manner too and the blue "Waffenrock" had no pockets indeed. Before 1889 it was the only way to identify him even:

    "Der etatmaessige Feldwebel war fuer die Organisation des inneren Dienstes in der Kompanie verantwortlich. Zunaechst erkannte man ihn nur am Notizbuch, das zwischen den Knoepfen des Waffenrocks steckte. Zur besseren Unterscheidung legte er gemaess einer A.K.O. vom 28. Juli 1889 am Waffenrock eine zweite, 1,6 cm breite Tresse an, die 7 mm ueber der Aermelaufschlagstresse getragen wurde ..." (Ulrich Herr/Jens Nguyen: Die deutsche Infanterie von 1871 bis 1914. Vol. 1, Vienna 2008, p. 160).
    "The 'etatmaessige Feldwebel' was responsible for organizing the internal affairs of the company. In the first instance he was distinguishable by the notebook only which was tucked between the buttons of his tunic. For a better distinction he wore a second strip at the tunic, 1,6 cm broad, 7 mm above the strip of the sleeve according to an 'A.K.O.' ('Allerhoechste Kabinettsordre') from July 28, 1889 ..."

    In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
