5th Guard Infantry Brigade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 5th Guard Infantry Brigade (German: 5. Garde-Infanterie-Brigade) was a unit in the Imperial German Army prior to and during the First World War. At the outbreak of war, it was part of the 3rd Guard Infantry Division of the Reserve Guard Corps and consisted of the 5th Guard Foot Regiment and 5th Guard Grenadier Regiment. In May 1915, the brigade was transferred to the newly-created 4th Guard Infantry Division; at about the same time, in accordance with the regulated increase in brigade size from two to three regiments, the 93rd Reserve Infantry Regiment was assigned to the unit.ca
