Chris Boonzaier Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The name was lightly engarved into the back, but the scratches made when repair was done almost erased the mans name and unit... This is the interesting part..... it was awarded for the fighting on the 1st day of the Nivelle offensive..... one of the bloodiest days of the war...

The Prussian Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Hello Chris! Nice pieces!!! The commanding general of the X.Res.Korps was Gen.d.Inf. Magnus v. Eberhardt. The MG-Scharfschützen-Abt.10 was formed november 1, 1916. I´m not sure, to which army it belonged at april 14, 1917. 5.3.17-6.4.17: 7th army 21.4.17-14.6.17: 1st army The 1st company of that detachement was formed from the MG-Scharfschützen-Trupp Nr.73. The 7th army fought until april 16, 1917 at the "Doppelschlacht an der Aisne und in der Champagne" and the 1st army since april 16, 1917. Here is the map of april 16, 1917 of the X.Res.Korps (Gruppe Brimont) and it´s divisions. Note the enemy west of Courcy. The 1st russian Brigade!!!
