Chris Boonzaier Posted November 23, 2013 Author Posted November 23, 2013 Hi, it is after Groener took over from Ludendorff, but before the OHL left Spa (I think)
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 It is ideed a group from Sturm bataillon Rohr, an eyewitness account I read spoke of them arriving with their leather reinforced trousers, cloth gaiters, helmets and Sturm Troop gear, relieving the ceremonial guard troops.... their "frontschwein" appearance did not please all officers at the HQ.
