I.R. 415 (204th Division)

[cnock]

Hello,

Does anyone knows the exact location of I.R. 415 in October-November 1916?

It was near Ypres, but I want to know which Abschnitt.

Regards,

Hello,

The JR 415 was part of the 204 Jnfanterie Division (during july-december 1916).

In october-november, this Division was in the vicinity of Wytschaete near Messines at south of Ypres : "Stellungsk?mpfe im Wytschaetebogen (Flandern)".

Best regards,

Stephan

Hallo Stephan,

they could have been at St. Eloi?

I have several pics of IR 415 with positions in large mine craters

Hi,

I have Dixmude-Bixschoote until October 1 then the South East edge of the Ypres Salient. The 415 left at the end of 1916 and joins the 212ID. Maybe between their time in the 204 and 212 they passed St Eloi?

Sorry, I don't know but it doesn't seems to be.

In the historie of the 204 JD, Saint Eloi is not mentionned :
