I'm in the final stages of completing my history of the 5th Battalion C.E.F. (Western Cavalry).
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with some background information of a German Army unit which figures prominently during the Battle of 2nd Ypres April 22- 25 1915 (the German gas attack)
I'm trying to provide some description of Sturmbrigade Schmieden which was a formation within the 27th Reserve Corps. I'm curious as to how the unit came about and who the Officer Commanding was. I assume the men came from elements of the 27th Reserve Division?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
