CROONAERT Posted 26 April , 2004 Share Posted 26 April , 2004 When the Canadians attacked, they hit the junction of two German units - the 2nd Prussian Guard and the 234th Bavarian Inf. Regt. (the wood was also the junction between the 51st (of which the 234th was part) and the 52nd Reserve Divisions) Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 26 April , 2004 Share Posted 26 April , 2004 Canadian Official History, British Official History, "Magnificent But Not War" by John Dixon, "Canadians at Ypres" by N.Christie and cross-checked with "Histories of the 251 german Divisions who participated 1914-18" by US General Staff.
