Remembered Today:

German Unit Identity

Recommended Posts

Hi, can anyone help me interpret the detail of the German unit in the attached photograph. I assume they were in IX Reserve Corps and were stationed in Dobeln, but can't decipher the rest. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

The caption on the picture is 9 KORPS. 1. REKR. DEPOT, RES.JNE.REG. No.106 DOBELN.WELTKRIEG 1915

Thanks

Rob

I think it is Rekr Depot Res Inf Reg No.106 which would make it Recruit Depot Reserve Infantry Regiment No.106

It says 9. Korporalschaft 1. Rekruten-Depot, Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment N° 106 Döbeln. That's a sub-unit of the recruit depot (based in Germany) of Saxon Reserve Infantry Regiment 106. These pictures of groups of recruits are very common.
