Hello all, I am currently conducting some research for a project on the Battle of Mont Sorrel (Hill 60/62 - Hooge) that took place 2-13 June 1916. I noted that the British official history (author BGen Sir J.E. Edmonds 1932) has identified the commander of the 26 (Wurttemberg) Div as Major General von Pfeil und Klein Ellgutt, but the wikipedia entry for this unit suggests that Duke Wilhelm von Ulrach (later failed King of Lithuania) was the commander at this time: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26th_Division_%28German_Empire%29). Edmond's account also states that the commander of XIII Corps (General Freiherr von Watter) fired General von Pfeil for disagreeing with him over the value of attacking Hill 60. I am wondering who was in charge at this time and whether or not any of this command politics is accuarate? Edmonds source simply states Wurttemberg Official Account p.54 (possibly history of Div 26 or 27 or Regt 120), whereas the wikipedia entry cites Hermann Cron et al. Ruhmeshalle unserer alten Armee. (Berlin, 1935); and by the same author, Geschichte des deutschen Heeres im Weltkriege 1914-1918. (Berlin, 1937). Unfortuantely I cannot get access to the German official histories at this time. Thus my questions are: Who are the German commanders for XIII Corps, 26 and 27 Div in Jun 1916? Where might I find further biographical information on them? Many thanks in advance for helping clear any of this up, Kind regards, Andrew G
