Dante : The 9th JzPferde regiment was deployed in Ukraine between May of 1918 and the Armnistice.After a slow retreat returned to his garnison in Insterburg in good order the 22th of Februar of 1919 . then it was disbanded . If the FreiwilligerBtl was organizes in Insterburg probably the JzPf was the base

Freiw. Btl. 26 became part of Freiwilligens Regiment/Detachment Klüfer commanded by Major Theodor Karl von Klüfer. The unit's collar badge was a bent silver bear claw.
