Thank you very much indeed for your help, I have from this already been able to put some basic career information together on this man. I remain hopeful that someone can provide a digital scan of an image also. Regards Richard.

Major August-Wilhelm Bier I./ZG1
Hello John
My interest is simply because I recently acquired quite a large document grouping to a Bordfunker who served in ZG1 and ZG26, and the document for the Silber Front-Flug-Spange is signed by Bier. I hope to find a picture of him from somewhere purely to use in the document display when the group is fully researched, as with all signed documents in my collection. Regards Richard.
