I'd hazard a guess at Bavarian Reserve Infanterie Regiment Nr 1  ( http://genwiki.genealogy.net/KB_IR_1   )

Light blue/White are the colours of Bavaria.

Photo on the left looks like Ludwig III, the last King of Bavaria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_III_of_Bavaria

"Hoch lebe der Reservemann der bald nach Hause gehen kann" "Hurray for the Reserve-man who can go home soon"

A souvenir of this man's time in the Reserve Infanterie Regiment nr 1.

"Grafenwöhr" is where he was from apparently, a town near Nuremberg.

Bavarian RIR 1 was garrisoned in Munich.
