Chris Boonzaier Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have seen the 220s and 230s.... but so far none on the RIR238.Does anyone know if it existed? The history I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Chris,Eike Mohr in his unit bibliography of unit histories only mentions a small 58 page booklet on the regiment:Festschrift zum 10. j?hrigen Regimentsjubil?um des Reserve-Infanterie-Regiments 238, Karlsruhe, 1924. So in effect, probably nothing of any substance on the regiment.RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thats a bugger.I am thinking about buying a Baden bravery medal to a member of the regt... there is no really sexy citation, just along the lines of "Fought well and hard 1914-17.I was hoping for some mentions of him in the history of the unit. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uwe S Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hello Chris,the book has 176 pages and is as detailed as many regimental histories.I?m interesting in commanding lists of the commanders of the regiment and the battaillons.Therefore it isn?t very exactly.Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
