christerd Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Thanks Andy , That was super interesting , a almost forgotten small unit from the Great War . What I could find out the Gruppe Lindau was a Bavarian unit. maybe I can find something in the Bavarian rank list. Thanks again , now the man in the Bodensee Flotille at least has a thread here to their memory Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi Christer! I don´t think you´ll find something in the bavarian ranklist, because the unit was formed in december 1914. The rankjlist of honour shows a Freiherr v. Gemmingen-Guttenberg (Max), but he was killed in Rumania 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If you have a name you might find his cv in the Bavarian Stammrolle via Ancesrtry, if indeed the unit was Bavarian. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
