Reservists of the Königin Augusta Garde-Grenadier-Regt. Nr. 4 from Glenn J. 1. Landwehr men did not wear regimental cyphers. 2. Landwehr men usually wore the blue Litewka in peacetime. Regarding the business of a standing Guard reserve in peacetime. Obviously reservists just reported to their former active regiments for their two annual training periods. The Garde-Landwehr as such was really just an administrative orgainisation akin to the Landwehr Bezirkskommandos of the line. The regiments existed in name only with Guards Landwehr Officers being assigned to a specific "Regiment" in the Army list for administrative purposes. Like their line counterparts, Guards Landwehr personnel were formed into "exercise" companies and battalions for the purpose of their stipulated mandatory training periods.
The Garde-Landwehr structure was something of an anomaly. In the line, the day to day business of reserve and Landwehr personnel was regulated by a Bezirkskommando. Now as the Guards did not have their own Bezirkskommando this business was conducted by a control office at headquarters of the Garde-Korps headed by a uniformed retired field officer. Each active regiment of the Guards and other supporting arms had their corresponding Landwehr "Regiment". Reserve officers of the Guards on transfer to Landwehr status became officers in these corresponding "Regiments". As stated before they did not actually compose formed units but were an administrative tool under the auspices of the Kontrollbureau for the control of the officers of Garde-Landwehr. A transfer of an officer of the Garde-Landwehr to another unit required Imperial approval. One assumes that a Landwehr Officer assigned to the control a provincial Landwehrbezirk then wore the appropraite provincial Landwehr uniform. The "units" of the Garde-Landwehr are listed in the annual Prussian Army Lists before the provincial Landwehr Districts. SOLD |
