Korps Werder....

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

• Kdr. 4. Ersatz-Division, 1914-15
• Komm. General, Korps Werder, 1915-17

Hugo von Werder took over the Korps Werder in 1915, but on the documents he was signing it says "Verstärkte 4. Ersatz Division" on the 1916 documents... the 1918 docs it is just "4. Ersatz Division"... was the Korps Werder the Reinforced 4th Ersatz Division, different names for the same thing?

Thanks

Chris

Hi there.

I think we may talk about Albert Busso Leopold Hugo v. Werder.

Found this photo. Third from the right might be von Werder?

Hello Mattyboy!

I think so!

Werder was leader from 1914-1917 (see above)

Your photo shows "Stab der.4.Ersatz-Division"

Thanks for pushing the artricle!

Since 2013 I received a photo of him too!
