Czech Legion ORBAT
« on: May 20, 2014, 07:37:36 PM »
I found this Czech Legion ORBAT on the Axis History forum
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=52245

I do not know its accuracy.
Gentlemen?

‘When Czechoslovak Corps started fights (26/5/1918), it was dispersted along railway.
Units were divided like this:


1-Samara (or Volga, or West)Group - lt. Čeček
1.Rgt - 2800
4.Rgt - 3500
1.Res. Rgt - 1300
1.Art Brg - 200

2-Tchelyabinsk group - col. Vojcechovskij
2. Rgt - 2500
3. Rgt - 2800
II., III./6.Rgt - 2000
-lt. Syrový (east part of Group)
kurgan baon - 1000
2 trains of 6. Rgt
2 trains of 2. Rgt
3. assault company - 200

3-East Group - capt. Gajda (Omsk - Irkutsk)
parts of 7. Rgt - 1600
I./6.Rgt - 680
2. Art. Brg - 500
-col. Ušakov
3 companies of assault baon - 300
I./2.Res. Rgt - 400
other - 350

4-Vladivostok Group - gen. Diterichs
5. Rgt - 4679
3., 4., 6., 9., 12./7. Rgt - 1598
8. Rgt - 3928
parts of 2. Res. Rgt. – 1685’

Can anyone shed light on this bit:

kurgan baon - 1000

Kurgan is just East of Cheliabinsk.

So the Kurgan Battalion is with Syrový in the Eastern part of the group, along with some trains and an assault company.

Thanks Mark
I wonder why it is named 'kurgan' as opposed to all the other units (bar the assault companies) who are given Regt nomenclature?
