Hi,

Does anyone have anything on a Lt M Wagner, 6 Garde Inf Regt?

Enjoy this little jewel....

This is a VERY weird document! The wound badge "is awarded by ME" Lt. Wagner!!!?

The script is... identical for the filled in entries AND the signature. Overly neat and calligraphic. I dunno.......

Hi Chris!

A phantastic document!

The 15.7.18 was the day, when the 1.Army attacked Reims. (6.Garde-Inf.Rgt. < Gade-Ers.Div. < Gen.Kdo. Langer (XXIV.RK) < 1.Armee)

Together with the 26.Inf.Div. they fought against the french 124.Division d´infanterie (IV. corps d´armée < 4° armee) north of Baconnes (20km south-east of Reims, 3km north-west of Mourmelon-le-grand).

Garde-Ers.Div. did attack by the first ordre of the group at 4am without any success. At a lot of places the 6.Garde-Inf.Rgt. and Inf.Rgt.399 fought a long time in hand-grenades fights.

They took 800 prisoners and didn´t have too much own losses.

Hi,

since my original post this document and its group have become a "not for my collection" group.

Best

There really are some strange things in the document...

The wounded badge, awarded by the Lt.

The date of the firs attack. I suppose, the unit leader has better things to do than writing a certification like this JUST after the fights

Why is the number 6 written in latin letters above (VI)?

I´m not a specialist for those documents, I just noticed these things...
