    I have been able to find out a bit about Friedrich Weygand before the war and know from the start until at least December 1915 Weygand was in the I./3. Fuss. Art. Regt as a Hauptmann......

    Can anyone add to him ?

    Thanks

    Weird, weird:

    Commissioned in INFANTRY Regiment 158

    Leutnant 18.10.01 K (the absence of any other and this date confirms he was indeed him)

    to Foot Artillery Regiment 3 before 1909 but attending Military Technical Academy

    Oberleutnant 18.10.10 X5x

    Hauptmann 8.10.14 P13p

    charakterisiert Major aD

    died 2 February 1926

    I wonder what sort of displaced Huguenot cousin he was to the WW2 French general?

    Chris,

    Rick is correct, a former infantry officer:

    Friedrich Emil Georg Hermann Weygand, born 28 February 1881 at Gumbinnen in East Prussia, the son of Generalmajor Friedrich Weygand and Margarete n?e Miethke.

    Entered the armed as a "Two Year Volunteer" with a view to a commission in the 1. Kurhessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 81 on the 5th of March 1900. Appointed F?hnrich on 15.12.00 and commissioned as a Leutnant on 18.10.01.

    Transfered to Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 158 on 18.10.02 and then served an attachment with Feldartillerie-Regiment General-Feldzeugmeister (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 3 from 1.11.05 to 21.7.06. Served another attachment with Fu?artillerie-Regiment Nr. 3 from 1.6.07 to 18.5.08 when he was definitively transfered to that regiment.
