Inf.Regt. Graf Bose (1 Th?r.= Nr 31

Anyone have any info on where this unit may have been in action around the date this document was issued in 1918 ?

Hi,

it had just taken part in the breakthrough between Gouzeaucourt and vermand in March 1918 and then fought on the ancre, Somme and Avre. Document was signed during a period where they were pulled from the line. A month later they were fighting between the marne and vesle.

P.S. as with 98.345% of wound badge docs, there is no way to know if the wound was in 1918 or 1916 or 1914.

Nice design there with some extra "unit pride."

WHICH von Hanstein signed this I can't tell for certain. My best guess would be the pre-war Brunswick Inf Rgt 92 Hauptmann who made Major 27.1.15 T4t and retired as a char. Oberstleutnant aD. He's the best fit for that rank at that date.
