Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 203

Does anyone have any information about this unit's regimental history? It wasn't produced until after the second war and was a multi-volume set. Has there ever been volumes/sets that have come up for sale/auction?

Ken,

Apparently four volumes, published in the early sixties. Based on the regiment's war diaries and supplemented by personal diaries and field post letters. The ZMSBw in Potsdam has a set.

I have not seen a set for sale.

Regards
Glenn

Thanks for that, Glenn.

Here is the person in question. I'm fairly certain that the uniform on the right is 5. Garde-Regiment zu Fuss. I've seen the colorized version, the card on the right was produced from the non-colorized copy. On the left is a laser scan so the quality is not that great and for some reason produced a faded area near his head. Even in the original the should board is probably difficult to make out, but even so if I'm not mistaken the unit most likely would have been a reserve regiment? The question is whether he was a member of RIR203.
