Today I bought a picture frame with a picture of a part of the crew from the SMS Wettin, who followed infantry training on the SMS Wettin (zur erinnerung an unsere Infanterische Ausbildung).
Underneath the picture the names of the people are shown. In the middle are 2 higher ranked people, who gave them training I guess. But I can’t figure out their ranks. It’s about the following abbreviations:

Ob.-Hzr (or Ob.-Hrr)
M.-Mt

Ob. stands for Oberst I think and M. for Major.

Anyone who knows more?

I have recently added a British 2" mortar and accessories to my collection and I thought forum members might like a kit layout. As I live in the UK, the mortar is of course deactivated and the bombs free from explosive. The sight is included as it was an accessory for the mortar, but was rarely if ever actually used, the white line painted on the tube being perfectly adequate for use in the field- you lined the mortar up with the target using the line and then tilted it back and forth to alter the range.
