dond Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Looking for an army unit that had either a Brunswick Oldenburg connection/affiliation or possibly even a Schaumburg Lippe, Brunswick, Oldenburg affiliation.
Dave Danner Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 There are a lot of Brunswick and Oldenburg connections, as they were in the same corps area. Among infantry units, IR 368, IR 411, IR 465 and REIR 4 all were formed from X.AK units from Hannover, Brunswick and Oldenburg. I don't know about cavalry, artillery or other units, but there were probably some. Also someone assigned to corps or stellvetretende corps HQ. Schaumburg-Lippe was in the VII.Korpsbezirk in Westphalia. I don't know of any units that were mixed with them and X.AK units. You could have another connection, like birth/citizenship, though.
dond Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks Dave. The birth connection was my prime theory.
The Prussian Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Hello! For Lippe we had two kontingents. Lippe-Detmold (Inf.Rgt.55) Schaumburg-Lippe (Jäger-Btl.7)
dond Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks for the info. Its a nice bar to a very brave man. Notice he didn't feel the need to jazz it up with a bunch of the "I was there" add-ons that you see on a lot of post war bars. I wonder which 1st class awards he had?
