10th Company 1st Baden Lieb-Grenadier Regiment Number 109

(The 1st Baden Leib-Grenadier Regiment Number 109 was activated on 23 March 1803. By 1847 the regiment consisted of three battalions each with four companies. In 1871 the unit was integrated into the Prussian Army until the end of WWI when it was disbanded.)

Es lebe hoch das Regiment das sich mit Stolz das erste nennt.
Long live the regiment that proudly calls itself the first.

Grenadier Dietsche

The bands of red and yellow around the top and base band are the colors of the Grand Duchy of Baden.

Central Image:

Grand Duke Frederick I from Baden
(1826-1907 who ruled Baden from 1852 after his father’s death until 1856 when he became duke and ruled until his death in 1907.)

Right side verse:

Und ruft das Vaterland uns wieder
Als Reservist und Landwehrmann
So liegen wir die Arbeit wieder
Und folgen treu der Fahne dann.

And the Fatherland calls us back
As reservists and militiamen
We lay the work down again
And follow the flag faithfully.

Left side verse:

Noch einmal müssen Stram wir üben
Dann aufs Paradefeld hinaus
Zuletzt am Bivouakfeuer liegen
Und dann geht’s heim ins Vaterhauslati

We practice hard once more
Then out onto the parade field
Finally lying by the bivouac fire
And then we go home to father’s house
