dunmore44 Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 I have just been looking a a small trench map of the Battle of Bellewaard 16 June 1915, and the British trenches are facing the 246 & 248 P.I.R. what would the P.I.R stand for, could it be 'Prussian Infantry Regiment' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 Hello, It was RIR 246 and RIR 248 (54th Reserve Division) (RIR - Reserve Infantry Regiment). In fact they were Württembergers and not Prussians. Regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
