The Prussian Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hello! A nice MP! MG-Abt. are quite rare! A small addition: The MG-Abt.2 only belonged in peacetimes to the IR29. After mobilzation they became "mobile" and stood under command of the 3rd Cav.Div. (until august 1916), and then 2nd Cav.Div. (until january 1919) Durung the war they came temporary to other formations, like XIX.AK, HKK2, Gouv.Antwerpen, 42.ID, 25.Cav.Brig., k.u.k.V.Corps and 7th bav.Cav.Brig.
