    Thanking you in advance

    INF - RIR 83 OBERST GEORG POHLMAN.JPEG

    Posted

    Hello Jens,
    First of all, thank you for your reply. The oberst Pohlmann who commanded the RIR 83 was from mobilisation to 02/07/1915 when he left the regiment due to illness (according to the regimental history). After some research I found a generalmajor Friedrich Wilhelm Pohlmann kdr of the 213 infantry brigade from 06/02/1916. Is this our man?
    There exists on the other hand another Oberst Hugo Gustav Georg Pohlmann mobilized in the RIR 10 then classified Offz der armee from the 21/11/1914. Recalled to the head of the RIR 82 on 20/01/1915 then as kommandeur of the 244 BI from 02/01/1917 and finally as kommandeur of the 14 DI from 09/07/1918 to 21/01/1919. This is the officer whose link you give on prussian machine.
    I need to find a photo of this generalmajor Friedrich Wilhelm Pohlmann to see if he is really my man. Research is not easy when you don't have the first names. It's all a question of patience.
    Thanks again Jens
    Kind regards
    Joel

    Sometimes the regimental histories have photographs of the Brigade-Kommandeure to which their regiment belonged. It is a far shot, but who knows?

    RIR 52: only photos of regimental officers

    RIR 227: photos of Divisionskommandeure and photos of regimental officers, but not Brigade.

    Leaves us with RIR 232 unfortunately not online.

    Hello GreyC
    Yes, of course, I should have thought of that. I know where to get a digital version of the first two volumes of the book. If I find the photograph, I'll post it here.
    Thank you very much.
    sincerely

    Are in "Erinnerungsblätter deutscher Regimenter" pictures at all?

    In all I have seen not, so I dont bother to search for them when looking for pictures.

    IMO "Erinnerungsblätter deutscher Regimenter" is mostly focusing on battles often with maps and some names are also in there.

    Well, then you might have missed some. The regimental history of RIR 52 seems to be part of the series Erinnerungsblätter deutscher Regimenter / Ehemals preußische Truppenteile ; it is Bd. 112.
