@festwagner = TOPP! Your helmet saw the trench. RIR82 - 3 Batl. (III. Batl. - GOTHA ... this is the link to IR95)
Reserve Regiment of the XI Armee Korps.
That fits 100%. Great.
The "Thuringian Regiments" used the clothing & equipment of the regular regiments and redistributed to the RIR units.

Franz Kaltwasser from Coburg, 2/JR95, born on 26.9.1890 survived....

First published 18.9.15, mentioning slight injury.

And second publication of 26.5.17, with a late mention of the precise date of the injury: 21.8.15.

JR95 was at that time on the Eastern Front (38th Division): 19.08.1915 - 25.08.1915: fighting near Bielsk (50 kms south of Bialystok)

Almost 8 years ago, a superb lot of IR95 was for sale on ebay and I just missed it...

 

[Hardaway]

There was a wonderful set sold here at the time.
Very difficult to get something like that again.
These pieces are also 100% genuine.

@Jupiter66
I also have the book in my archive.
Very good basic material for research work.

I also enjoy editing the photos in my collection. Here is an example.
