17th Hussar Regiment WWI

[ljoconnor]

I'm looking for some information/unit history, etc. on the WWI 17th Hussar Regiment. I believe they were in the 19 Division of the Prussian Army. The only information I have is a very little bit off of Wikipedia.

Thanks in advance.

Braunschweigisches Husaren Regiment Nr. 17 was first founded in 1806 was incorporated into the Prussian Army on 18 March 1886.

From what I can find, during WWI Braunschweigisches Husaren Regiment Nr. 17 was split up into different divisions by squadron. At different points, squadrons of the regiment were attached to the 19th, 20th, 54th, 108th, and 43rd Reserve Divisions.

As I believe you know already, there is a good amount of info on this regiment on German Wikipedia.

What information were you looking for specifically?

For more details you should try to buy some books about the theme.
