PHOTOGRAPH.
(Photographie)
A WW1 era, 14cm x 9cm, outdoor portrait of a
Seebataillon (Marine Infantry) Soldier. Excellent uniform details of the
shoulder straps and cap with a leather chinstrap.
Stamp on reverse states: “Photograph Vahlendick, Lockstedter Lager
1911”. Lockstedter Lager was the training area for all Marine Infantry
battalions or Seebataillon prior to WW1. The Seebataillon were actually an arm
of the Imperial Navy and were established to provide a land-based force capable
of defending Germany's ports and colonies. They were a Reich asset and thus did
not wear a state or contingent cockade on their Mützen. The I. and II.
Seebatallion were based in Germany while the III. Seebatallion was permanently
based in Tsingtao in China.
