Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Kaiserslautern ?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Does anyone know where the above battalion was active in November/December 1914?

These landsturm battalions are pretty hard to pin down...

Thanks

Chris, do you know what Regt they were part of in 1914?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

the Landsturm Battalions were independant, so no Regiment. It was part od Armee Abteilung Falkenhausen, serving in Lorraine, somewhere between Metz and Strasbourg, but as I said, pinning down individual Landsturm Battalions is like trying to pin down Fussartillerie

There were two part of the 13 Div, Inf Btn Cassel and Mayence but I can't find Ktown in my book, it might be there but without a Regt or Div number, it's a bit difficult.

P.S. I am talking independant in 1914, not intergrated into a regiment at that stage

Chris,

have you got a name of an officer in the unit? With that, I can check ancestry.de for his record and we might be able to find out where they were.

Just a plain old Gefreiter d. Landsturm Mosbach ;-)

I guess the correct term would be

II B.1 – bayerisches Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Kaiserslautern ?

[Chris Boonzaier]

OK, found it ;-)

They were at Blamont and Badonwiller...
