WWI German Shoulder Strap 209th Regt with Red Cloth Strap
I bought a bunch of items from a granddaughter of a 4th CMR veteran who left his war time treasures to her in his will. The 4th CMR items have gone to the museum, but the German collection of captured shoulder boards obtained during his war time experiences are now available on the market. All of these boards are from units that fought the CEF.
The 209th Regiment board was taken from a soldier with the 45th Division, XIII Reserve Corps after the costly action at the Somme 1916. I do not know what the red strap is for, possibly an officer of NCO candidate.
