    1. The 2nd name seems to be an H-name. Gu. Heberts or Gu. Hebert. Oberjäger is right! Gustav? 18.11.17, the regiment used to be at the Piave
    2. I only read "Geberts", the first couod be "Einj." = Einjährig" but HOLY CR..! There is a signature of Oberst v. Rango!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4. The 364th were under bavarian command in the first three weeks of august 1916 (bav.8th Inf.Brig./bav.14th Inf.Div.) But the 14th Div. was near Verdun, while the 8th Res.Div. fought at the Somme...
    5. The württ. Geb.Kan.Bttr.6 was set-up in march 1915. First (from may 1915 until february 1917) it was part of the bavarian Geb.Art.Abt.2, and came then to the württ. Geb.Art.Abt.4, where it changed with bavar. Geb.Bttr.12 Here is a map of 1915 in the Dolomites
    6. No. The first Inf.Gesch.Bttr. were set-up in september 1916. In Tirol 1915 was only the bavarian Geb.Art.Abt.2 Here is the original ordre of battle for Tirol 1915: Sorry, I was too quickly... That was the planned ordre of battle. I juts saw, that the Geb.Art.Abt.1 was in the Alpenkorps from march-september 1915! The Geb.Art.Abt. 6 was in the Alpenkorps since 1916.
