    P.Haube unit marking question

    Hey gang...I recently purchased my first haube....it was issued in 1916 to a soldier in the Prussian XV Armee Korps which was headquartered in Strassburg and contained the 30th and 39th Divisions.
    Here is where I need your help. I'd love to know where (or if) these divisions were involved in any fighting. Eastern Front? Western Front? Belgium? France? Which battles? That kind of stuff....I've been trying to get some info on the net but haven't had much luck....so I'm turning to the experts!

    Thanks gang....any info you can send my way is greatly appreciated.
    Got my fingers crossed over here!! THANKS!

    Rob:

    15th Corps district was Alsace.

    I started to transcribe some bits from the "History of the 251 Divisions", but frankly am not that ambitious today! If you would email your postal address, I'll be glad to send photocopies of the history of both of these Division records from XV Corps. They were quite active in on the French frontier, then up in Flanders in the Ypres salient, on the Somme, Cambrai, etc.

    Just easier to send you some photocopies than write it all out here - I hope you don't mind.
