"251 divisions" has them leaving for Courland... but then lists them with the 3rd RD on the Western front. When DID they arrive at the 3RD? Did they do a short stop in Kurland before heading west?ThanksChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Füsilier-Regiment 34 Gefreiter August Gahnz No company listed. thanks Chris Seems he survived the war and were not captured, as he was not on the list of those. Could not find any awards given during the last months of 1916. The only ones listed are those of the high officers. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
