Border post manned by men from Landsturm Infanterie Bataillon ‘Wesel’ (VII 17), September 1916

Letter on reverse authored at Heidelberg Erzg. on 8.9.1916. No postmarks etc.

Possibly some kind of border post manned by these fellows from Landsturm Infanterie Bataillon ‘Wesel’. These men are located just a couple of kilometres from the (then) Bohemian border, now Czechoslovakia.

The men wear the M1913 Wachstuchmütze, although this overexposed photograph tends to make the caps look slightly like the M1914 variant. M1907/10 (or 1913) tunics with M1909 ammunition pouches.

Armament consists of Beutegewehr, or captured Russian Mosin-Nagant M91s.
