Could „Salicker“ be Salisko? I realise the s before the k isnt formed as one would expect.

If so a possibility could be Lt.d.R.d.Inf Eduard Salisco Bav RIR 2, also written Salisko in the casualty lists.

a= Stellung - post/dugout

So, Salisko was wounded on the 5/9/14 probably at the Battle before Nancy-Epinal and Hansen was killed on the 17/6/15 probably at the Battle of La Bassée and Arras. http://genwiki.genealogy.net/1._(Kgl._Bayer.)_Reserve-Division_(WK1)

So captured during Investigation and demonstration battles of the 6th Army (in connection with the Battle of the Somme). Whatever that means.

 

No, during the battle of the Somme, September being the 9th month.

Yes, just fixed that error, somehow managed to mix up the months.

Recently got this from the same seller. The cockades on the normal infantry soldiers are easier to see in this photo and they're definitely bavarian. Also, I hope nobody was holding those 2 rifles when that shell came down.
