Garde Artillery...

[Chris Boonzaier]

In 1916 both the 3rd and 4th Garde Regiments were on the Somme. At some stage the 6th Garde Feld Arty regiment jumped from the 3rd div to the 4th div...

Does anyone have an idea when that was?

I am guessing when the 3rd left the Somme the regiment stayed behind?

Both divisions seemed to jump between eastern and western front...

Chris,

6. GFAR was under 3. GID from mobilization to 7 May 1915, and under 4. GID from 8 May 1915 to 2 March 1917 (and then under Garde-Arko 4 of 4. GID until war's end).

Do You know there are any new ones coming out? I have the first three and I'm a little disappointed that the Landwehr and reserves are not in the infantry volume. These are expensive little books! Very good but very expensive. :rolleyes:

Hello,

I know there is a whole series planned, I am not sure when the next volume is due out. While at BA-MA Freiburg I checked out a few volumes of orders for Field and Foot artillery. That was interesting to see the actual orders (many signed by Generals near and dear to my heart) ordering the formation of so and so unit, etc.

I hope the next volume out is Footartillery as that's my first love!
