German UNIt at Loos Please

[toofatfortakeoff]

I would like to know the German Unit(s) facing the 1/5th Lincolns at Hohenzollern Redoubt on 13th October 1915. A number of them were captured and killed,wounded in Big Willie trench and the Fosse. I know there is a good book around on German Units but the German version is about 200£ I do not have it. If anyone has any German mourning cards or any info at all really for this date i would like to hear from them. Book coeming up shortly Thanks a lot Sean.

The JR57 ( Infanterie-Regiment Herzog Ferdinand von Braunschweig (8.Westfalisches) Nr.57) were immediately opposite the 1/5 Lincs., with the Saxons from JR104 (Infanterie-Regiment Kronprinz Nr.104) to their immediate left, also holding the redoubt (1 battalion of each).
