Hello all,
I am trying to find the German Army/Corps/Division/Brigade that the 11th Bavarian Infantry Regiment belonged to during the opening phase of the war in August 1914. Can anyone give me a clue where this regiment saw action during this month as well? I would appreciate any help that I can get.
regards,
Darren
