KB 2 Chevauleger "Thurn und Taxis"

This blog is dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of the German cavalry soldier during the First World War and the years immediately before and in particular, the 2 Chevauleger Regiment of the Bavarian Army. Our approach is primarily through the use of living history where we strive to recreate the material culture as closely as possible and give a depiction of the regiment during the First World War era. Comments are welcome that are appropriate to the focus of this blog. Horrido!

Carrier pigeons were one form of communication that was widely used during the First World War. According to the regimental history, from July 18, 1916 to August 10, 1916, a carrier pigeon station was established at Romagne and was garrisoned with 1 officer, 2 NCOs, 4 enlisted men and 8 horsess. The men posted were Oberleutenant Spiegelberger, Sergeant Donhauser, Sergeant Kuhlen and the Chevaulegers Weber, Kamsperger, Auerhammer and Winter.

Below are some pictures of the town:
