CROONAERT Posted 16 January , 2004 Share Posted 16 January , 2004 Does anyone have, or can anyone tell me where I can find any information about the 5th Baden Infantry Regiment ? I'm specifically looking for a listing of campaigns that they fought in ,especially 1870 -71. Also, what was this regiment's designation 1914-18 (in other words, which regiment had the 5 I.R. as it's ancestor)? Thanks, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sweeney Posted 16 January , 2004 Share Posted 16 January , 2004 Dave, Can't help you with the history, but I believe that the 5th Baden Infantry in 14/18 was the 5. Badisches Infantrie Regiment Nr 113 (formed in 1861). A good website is: http://users.hunterlink.net.au/~maampo/mil...r/milindex.html Joe Sweeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph J. Whitehead Posted 16 January , 2004 Share Posted 16 January , 2004 The 5th Baden (IR 113) served with the 29th Division throughout the war. A snapshot of the unit history gives the following: 1914 Alsace-Lorraine and Artois 1915 Artois, Champagne 1916 Champagen, Somme 1917 Champagne, Verdun 1918 Verdun, Lys, Aisne. Sorry, my information does not include the Franco-Prussian War. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robwilliams Posted 16 January , 2004 Share Posted 16 January , 2004 None of my books mention the 5th Baden specifically, but The Baden Division was part of the German 3rd Army throughout 1870-71. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 17 January , 2004 Author Share Posted 17 January , 2004 Thanks all ,for your help. Does anyone know if a regimental history for the 5th (that deals with 1870-71) or a Baden Divisional history (same period) exists and where I may be able to access it? It doesn't matter about it being in German, I can read it pretty fluently (pity about my accent when I speak it though!). Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
