Chris Boonzaier Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 A silly question...Can anyone guess.... a week or so after this was issued the Battalion was in a major attack... could a comapny afford to keep a guy out of the line permanently for something like this or would he have been back in the line for the attack?All the bestChris

Guest Rick Research Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Doubt it.The un-first-named Landsturmmann MaNsfeld survived the war, however. I just checked the casualties for the entire regiment since IR 75 is one of the few whose WW1 history I have.Another Landsturmmann MaNNsfeld, Albert, was missing in action at Miraumont 17.2.17 (5th Company) and declared legally dead.
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Hi,this was Hans Robert.The reason I am so keen to know is that Cron, in his outline of Von Belows complete army's role in the Battle for France march 1918 makes reference to just one smaller unit. The battalion Caspari of IR75.Now, if old Hans Robert was in the rear and did not take part in the attack :-( ..........He was born Juli 1878, so not the youngest, but I suppose they would have gotten as many men who could hold a rifle together?He later got an EK2 and of course a HK with swords.
rast Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 The text does not relegate the soldier permanently to the rear. It just explains that he, being a messenger, is licensed to visit the bagage train of II./IR 75 for official purpose.
