Relative in German WWI uniform. Any help identifying specifics welcome
Hello,
I was organizing photos of family that moved from Germany in the 1910's and ran accross someone that might be related, but not in the photo album from pictures taken in Tenn. Hes wearing what looks like a German WWI infantry outfit with the helmet sitting on a table and hes holding a cigar. Where is the best place to put this photo for critique and information regarding details? Thank you. Tim
It should be posted in the Imperial Germany / Austria-Hungary sub-forum:by Tim6352

Just wait a while; I'm sure one of the moderators will move this thread for you.
Thank you.
This is an easy one, he is a member of; Badisches Leib-Grenadier-Regt. Nr.109 (Karlsruhe) XIV Armee Korps. He is a grenadier indicated by the white Haarbusch (parade plume) and White Litzen (lace) on his collar and cuffs, helmet plate is Baden with Garde star, he has Swedish cuffs and white shoulder straps. Plus the photo was taken in Karlsruhe.
Great photo.
Thats all well and good but what brand of cigar is he working on? Seriously, a world of thanks. The closest resemblance of the uniform led me to Grenadier Regt. 109.
Offizierhelm 109-Parade.docxt clearly? Nice work.
