Guest Hill 60 Posted 22 May , 2003 Share Posted 22 May , 2003 I might be a little ambiguous here but does anyone know which German units were in the Santuary Wood area on the 2nd February 1916? I am looking, in particular, in the Allied trench area B7-C3 which was north-west (ish) of Stirling Castle and at the north end of Sanctuary Wood. This is all the info I have, so if someone can make anything out of it I would be very grateful Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 It must be a Württemberg unit from the XIII. Armeekorps. I'll have a look in my books if I can pinpoint the exact regiment. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOK4 Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 Hello Lee, I think it must be Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 125 that occupied the sector. I've attached a map of the regimental sector as held by its predecessor, Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 105. IR 125 took over the trenches held by IR 105 around New Year 1916 and held these positions until April 1916. Regards, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
