In reading Austria-Hungary's last war 1914-1918 volume 2 on the OOB pages 336-7 there are mentions of "tech comp". For their I corps I think they are:
3comp/SB 1
4 comp/SB 2
3 comp/ PB 10
5 comp/ PB 2
Does any one know what they are? I would say tech comp is technical company but I have never heard or read of the rest SB or PB before. Thanks in advance.
