Chris Boonzaier Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 According to the Denkmal site, the regiment was formed of the following units.... (Lehr-Inf.-Btl., Lehr-MGKp.,Uffz.-Schule Potsdam, StammBtl.Inf.-Schießschule, Gewehr-Prüfungs-Kommission)
The Prussian Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) One reason, because the soldiers were called Garde-Füsiliere was, that in december 1902 the Garde-Reserve-Füsilier-Regiment was dissolved, and since april 1903 the Lehr-Regiment was planned. All works to set-up that regiment was made by the Garde-Füs.Rgt. The MG-Kp. of the Inf.Schießschule came to the regiment in 1908. The first line-up as a regiment was during the Kaisermanöver in 1911. (Lehr-Inf.Btl. as I.Btl. ; Unteroffizierschule Potsdam as II.Btl.) The 2nd line-up as a regiment was at the 2nd mobilization-day in 1914 in the barracks of the Garde-Füs.Rgt. in Berlin. In august 1914, the 3rd Garde-Inf.Div. and the 1st Garde-Res.Div. built the Garde-Res.Korps (Gen.d.Art. v. Gallwitz). Soldiers called the corps "Garde-Reise-Korps" (Guard-travel-corps). It was, instead of regular reserve-corps, equipped like an active corps. The active formations were: Lehr-Inf.Btl. (it sent a complete company as staff-guards to the HQ Btl. of the Inf.Schießschule Lehr-MG-comp of the Inf.Schießschule, Uffz-Schule Potsdam and commanded soldiers of the Gewehr-Prüfungs-Kommission. The three Btl. commanders and two company-leaders were Garde-Füsiliers. Each company had at least one active officer. The MG-companies had only active officers. All enlisted men came from thr Garde-Fusiliers and from the guard-corps. It was the only regiment with two MG-companies (by outbreak of the war). The Ersatz came from the Ersatz-Bataillon of the Lehr-Inf.Rgt. That bataillon had five companies and two Rekruten-Depots Edited November 24, 2013 by The Prussian
