Joe and George,
I do highly appreciate all your effort! Don't make too much of it, unless it gives you a pleasure to do it.
I know, that pictures of these Bavarians, in action or in a pose, are not easy to find.
I just have another one, a small picture alas, made in 1915 on Height 627 at the Ban de Sapt- battlefield. Bavarians perhaps?
But there have many Bavarian units fighting there. the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 11 (B.R.I.R. 11). The regiment forms together with the B.R.I.R. 14 the 10th Bavarian Reserve Brigade under command of Generalleutnant Müller.
The 10th Bavarian Reserve Brigade and the 5th Bavarian "Ersatz Brigade" form together the 30th Reserve Division.
In 1915, BRIR 11 and 14, and BRIR 10 , about 3 or 4 km more to the south at the Col d'Hermanpaire.
Since 27 June 1915 the 2nd and 4th Bavarian Reserve Regiments of the 5th Bavarian Ersatz Brigade have relieved the Bavarian 10th Reserve Infantry Brigade. These regiments occupy the height on 8 July.
On 16 July, at 08.00 hrs, the Bavarians at their turn launch an artillery bombardment on the French positions, which will last until 20:00 hrs. It is the opening of a Bavarian counterattack at the Côte 627. Under command of Major Neumann, the Bavarian 5th Ersatz Brigade, assisted by 2 companies of B.R.I.R. 60, and 1 company of B.L.I.R. 80, attacks at 20.00 hrs. at 4 locations at once.
So, gentlemen, take your pick out of all these units. As you will understand by now, every picture of the mentioned units are welcome!
Perhaps this makes also your search much easier.
I end with two pictures, Joe and George; one period picture, I mentioned before and a picture of an inscription, I found at the Col de Hermanpaire.
Again many thanx for all your effort.
