bob lembke Posted 21 November , 2005 Share Posted 21 November , 2005 Malte; The text/address side of the PC is a bit mysterious. It has no Absender block, which the Prussian mail rules called for in 1915, and is addressed to the 6th Reserve Division, which I know as a Prussian unit (my grand-father was the "Id" of the III. Reservekorps, which had a 6th RD.) But is that the 8th Army Corps also in the address? So I am guessing that this is Bavarian military post, as they did not require an Absender block, and had their own set of unit numbers.

Malte Znaniecki Posted 21 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 21 November , 2005 Hello Bob, The adress of the man who sent the letter is to read handwritten below on the frontside of the postcard [pic No 3]. It says: 7th Coy of German Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 121 (which belonged to the 26. Reserve-Division) and was a Württembergian unit. The Adress to which the Postcard was sent to is to read as: Herrn Feldwebel Knauer 8. Armee-Korps, 6. Res.Div. Sächs. Ldst.Inf.Regt. 19, Masch.Gew.Komp. Osten And "Osten" means Eastern Front (Russia) Indeed, the German 6th Reserve-Division was at the River Aa (southwest of Riga) that time. I have to research the other questions and will tell you the results off forum if I get results for use. Malte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 22 November , 2005 Share Posted 22 November , 2005 Hello Malte, Indeed sent by 26th Reserve Division Nothing wrong with the address on the card. At that time (1916) the 6th Reserve Division was part of the 8th Army under von Buelow in Courland. Thus no Bavarian units involved.

Malte Znaniecki Posted 22 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 22 November , 2005 Thank you Cnock. I also suspected 8th Army to be meant. Malte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
