Chris Boonzaier Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 A note to this.... a battalion of the 8th Bavarian Landwehr was mobilized in Aschaffenburg. This was of course 2nd Bavarian Jäger hometown and not infantry. I assume for this reason that these Landwehr men are wearing Jäger Tschakos... I am not sure how long they kept them for.

LIR left Aschaffenburg on the 9th of August to join the other two battalions of the regiment on the way to the front. I am guessing the other two battalions had spiked helmets and the A-berger battalion Tschakos. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
