Hello Chris.

I just reread the history of the Jg.Btl. ( Hann.) 10 during WW I . Res. Jg. 10 was practically always deployed alongside Jg.Btl. 10. Part of the Alpenkorps in the same Jg.Regt.

I am preparing a thread concerning some officers of both battailons who went on to become highly decorated or otherwise notable General Officers during WW II .

Bernard, I look foreward to the thread. Did officer in these Jager battalions receive the Tyrol medal? I have a ribbon bar with a Tyrol ribbons and the 25/12 Army long service cross. I have never been able to identify who it belonged to.

Hello Paul.

I could not observe such decoration(s).

My sources are the History of Jg.Btl. (Hann.) 10, the Biblio series on German Army Generals and W.Keilig, Die Generale des Heeres.
