good evening,

in this photo, we can see some of the epaulettes:

they are gunners because there is a grenade on it:

here is one of mine as an example :

Did the Feld Artillerie Regiment have machine gunners in their ranks?

thank's in advance for your help.

Not to my knowledge, but I guess they might have supplied personnel to the Flak units.

Nice Ostende photo.

Field Artillery units did have some of their men trained as machine gunners, as from late 1917/early 1918 if I'm not mistaken. They were to defend the guns in case of an enemy breakthrough if I recall correctly. I remember having read this somewhere.
