Hello Gentlemen, I'm new to the forum and so I've probably got more questions than answers for you at this point in time. However, I do enjoy Imperial German research just for the fun of it. I have a number of items in my collection that I've researched including photos. So for some of you excellent research detectives, here is a nice unit marked Luger that I have turned up precious little on. I believe the L.I.R. 382 MWA unit correllates with the 44th L.D. which included the L.I.R. 382. (Picture is attached but not very readible, the unit mark is M.W.A.L.I.R.382.3.B.54. ) This info comes out of the reprint of 250 German Divisions in the Great War. According to that resource, the 44th L.D. was a bunch of old men that were able to hold a sector well. There are some things that old men are good at, this is just one of them! I noted that the 44th's regiments contained assault units (probably much younger and still bullet proof), used to gain intelligence in the front and improve positions for defensive purposes. I postulate that the L.I.R 382 MWA belonged to one such assault unit. I have seen similar units pictured and armed with the Artillery Lugers. So it makes sense that this particular Artillery luger was indeed something that this MWA unit would have been armed with. I'd like to learn more about this specific unit if there is more information out on it more specifically than at the Division level. Also, any pictures of the LIR 382, if any do exist which might add to an interesting piece of history. Thanks to any contributions, John PS: I see that maximum size for an attachment is 70K which doesn't allow for high resolution. However, there must be a better way that I'm just not schooled in.
