since we are on the unit mark kick

[HerrKaiser]

Speaking of Bavarian unit marks, I have one on a regimental beer stein. Much to my consternation there is very little information about it that I have access to over the last few hours of searching, but from what I have gathered it belonged to a Captain Andreas Bechtler of the 11th Bavarian infantry regiment “von der Tann”. It was part of the 6th Bavarian division at war’s outbreak and served exclusively on the Western Front seeing almost every major battle. In early 1917 the 11th regiment was transferred into the 16th Bavarian infantry division and this is where the trails run cold from my limited source sets that I can find online.
