Joel Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Hello to you all, I am looking for information on Major Geiseler, regiment commander of IR 409 from 06/07/1916 to the end of the conflict. If I am not mistaken : - Regimentstab of IR 59 in peacetime - 2nd Btn of LIR 18 on mobilisation - Kdr of IR 409. However, I found another Major Geiseler as kommandeur of the 1st Btn of IR 60 at mobilisation and then as Regiment-führer in the same regiment from 20 to 23/04/1915 and from 15 to 31/08/1915. He was then Kdr of IR 401 when it was created on 05/07/1916. Another Oberst Geiseler was Kdr of LIR 24 at the end of the conflict.... I am looking in particular for the first names of these officers and their career paths if possible. Thank you in advance. sincerely Joel Major Geiseler Kdr IR 409
hoh1851 Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Hello Joel, The shown officer is Major Erwin Geiseler. Born 23rd January 1871 in Königsberg. He should be the one from Infantry Regiment 59 and got Bremen Hanseatic Cross on 3rd May 1917 as Major and commander of the Infantry Regiment 409. Best regards hoh1851
