Dear Forum Members

I’m currently researching Army Group Makensen, which took part in the invasion of Serbia in 1915.  In particular, I am trying to clarify which army divisions were allocated to the X Reserve Corps and the IV Reserve Corps.

According to Osprey’s Men-at-Arms book, ‘Armies in the Balkans 1914 – 1918’, the order-of-battle of the IV and X Reserve Corps were:

IV Reserve Corps
101st Infantry Division
103rd Infantry Division

X Reserve Corps
105th Infantry Division
107th Infantry Division


However, I have also seen online an article stating that the IV Corps actually consisted of:

IV Corps
11th Bavarian Division
105th Infantry Division
107th Infantry Division

In short, there is conflicting information regarding which divisions were allocated to these two Corps.  As both the book and online article do not provide references to the original sources, I’d be grateful if someone could clarify the composition of these two German Army Corps in 1915.

Kind Regards

Geoff.
