Jaeger zu Pferde Reserve Batallions

[kaiserzeit]

Spurious question: There were Reserve JzP Batallions in the German Order of Battle, weren't there?


Cheers,

Laurie

Acording to "Rumeshalle Unserer Alten Armee" the answer is, Yes.

Gus,

As always, spot-on! Many thanks. I'm a bit rusty so appreciate the support.

Cheers,

Do you have information about which Reserve regiments existed? It seems there were at least two, Hermann Cron (Geschichte des Deutschen Heeres im Weltkriege) mentions Res.Jäg. z.Pf. 1 and here is a tag from the second (not mine, linked from here):

Acording to my information, there were 13 Reserve JzP Regiments.

There was only one the: Reserve-Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr.1
The tag above is from the Ersatzeskadron of the Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr.2
Every Kavallerie-Regiment had 5 Eskadrons in peacetime and in wartime 4 where Feldeskadrons and one became Ersatzeskadron and stayed in the homegarrison.

But it is marked E.J.R.z.Pf.2, would that not make it part of the reserve?
