Brian R Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Here is an EK2 doc to Ersatz - Reservisten Kaliner of 7 Komp, Reserve Infantry Regiment 77 in 2nd Guard Reserve Division dated August 24, 1916. My assumption is that this Regt. was from Hannover (although Kaliner was not). Does anyone have any sense as to how the Regt. made it through The Somme and who the Regt. Commander was?Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Brian,The first commander of the regiment, Obstlt. von Wright was killed on August 23, 1914. The regiment's staff and the I, III battalions were at Hildesheim and the II battalion at Hameln. The regiment lost 81 officers and approximately 3,000 NCOs and enlisted men. This link will take you to the wartime order of battle for the division in 1916. http://www.1914-18.info/erster-weltkrieg.p...on&start=50Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
