    du Vignau. German officer in the turkish army


    The Prussian

    Recommended Posts

    Hello!

    I´m looking for informations about the german Major Albert Paul du Vignau (born 29.9.66)

    Don´t confuse him with his brother Guido Rudolf Gustav du Vignau!

    In 1913 he retired as Major in Inf.Rgt.158.

    From 24.12.14-30.12.14 (six days!) he lead the 1st Battailon of Res.Inf.Rgt.270.

    Then he appeared at the Cannakale-Front. One source says, he became a turkish Lt.Col. and served with the turkish 58th Infantry-Regiment.

    Then it´s getting dark... I couldn´t find any information of him in the turkish army and I couldn´t get any informations of that regiment in 1915/16.

    I only know, the regiment was part of the 19th Division in January 1915.

    Then I´ve found several sources, that the regiment was transfered to the 6th Army Corps.

    Some sources also say, it was in 24th. and/or 16th. Division.

    Does anyone know, in which divisions that regiment was in mid 1915 until 1916 and something about that german officer?

    He survived the war and died 1935 in Berlin.

    Thanks a lot in advance!
