Leutnant Zurbach Reserve Infanterie Regiment nr. 88

[Joel]

Hello everyone,
Following the discovery of this officer's trunk in France, I would have liked to find some information on this Leutnant Zurbach of the RIR 88.
I have found no trace of the history of this regiment which seems to have become untraceable. Thank you for anything you can tell me about our man and if anyone has a history of this regiment (a miracle is always possible) ....
Thanking you in advance
sincerely
Joel

I do not believe that there was a published regimental history. Here is the entry from Kraus.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply. For the history of this regiment there is this one:
Vereinigung des ehem. R.-Inf.-Regt. 88 Hanau: "Regimentsgeschichte des Reserve-Infanterie- Regiments 88", Hanau 1932.

and another more contemporary book:
Jens Arndt, Das Hanauer Reserve-Infanterie-Regiments Nr.88 im Weltkrieg 1914-18, Hanau 1999, (Selbstverlag: archivum militares), 144 Seiten.

but I can find no trace of either.
with kind regards
Joel
