Regimental history IR75

[Grabenmaxx]

Hi,

I am looking for the regimental history of IR 75. But even more specifically for information on their actions in August and september 1914.
Is there anyone who could assist with that please?

Hi,

Unfortunately is this Regimentsgeschichte not online available and however is this book very very brief...

I you are understanding french, I recommend you this book:

De Brême jusqu'à Nampcel: Le 75e Régiment d'Infanterie allemand dans la guerre de mouvement: 1914, le 75e régiment d'infanterie allemand dans la guerre de mouvement : De la grande guerre, Patrimoine: Amazon.es: Libros

De Brême jusqu'à Nampcel: Le 75e Régiment d'Infanterie allemand dans la guerre de mouvement: 1914, le 75e régiment d'infanterie allemand dans la guerre de mouvement : De la grande guerre, Patrimoine: Amazon.es: Libros

www.amazon.es

I bought it, because I wanted myself to retrace the events experienced by the first wearer of my named helmet, the OYV Gefreiter Robert Reinberg from the 3/JR75, the "Caspari Kompagnie", named to his famous Kommandeur (Reinbergs nametag has been later partially torn off, probably by the second wearer who did not add his name in the helmet). Reinberg has been seriously wounded on the 20.9.14 during the fighting at Nampcel. He started his one year duty September or October 1913. He would have finished it September 1914, but by beginning of war, he was sent to the front. He probably promoted to the rank of Gefreiter Mars or April 1914, after 5-6 months of duty, as was generally the case for these recruits. This book is very complete for the first war months.

Thanks Philippe. Am I seeing that correctly that they want 360 for it? That's quite a number..

I have a Haube of the regiment from the same year and also with the double regimental mark. Any idea why that was done?

Hi,

There is a copy on Hathitrust: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100678229. Should be visible with VPN if you're not in the US.
