| 説明 | Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 25 (+MG.-Kp.) R38Aufgestellt in Koblenz (R.Stb., II.), Neuwied (I.) und Andernach (III.) Unterstellung: 15. Res.Div.Kommandeur:Oberstleutnant SchmidtI.:Major II.:Major Lentz(I.R.Nr. 68)III.:Major Voelkel(I.R.Nr. 68)From Jack SheldonInteresting one, this. It had me puzzled too at first, because the only clear cut Guards involvement at First Ypres was along the Menin Road/Polygon Wood/Nonnebossen 10/11 November. However, what I think is being referred to are actions by the regiments of 43rd Res Div; viz. RIRs 201, 202, 203 & 204, all of which were formed from the Guard Corps. RIR 204, for example, was made up as follows: Regimental Staff and 1st Bn from the Ersatzbataillon Foot Guards 1; 2nd Bn from the Ersatzbataillon Footguards 3 and 3rd Bn from the Ersatzbataillon Lehr-Infanterie-regiment. Officers and NCOs from Footguards 1 & 3 were posted in to 1st and 2nd Bns, whilst 3rd Bn was reinforced from the Fusilier Guards.You are right, I do have a chapter on Diksmuide in the forthcoming book, but I do not refer to these regiments as 'Guards', though it was primarily the 43rd Res Div which carried the attack into the town of Diksmude itself from 21 October - 10 November 14. I think that the regimental colour may well be artistic licence, I do not think that any of the new regiments had them or carried them into action, though I have come across instances of it within XIX Corps regiments down near Ploegsteert. However, I will check through all the accounts again, in case I am mistaken. |
