Bulgaria in WWI

[MCP]

1913 ?

Je cherche l'ordre de bataille de la IIIe Armée à l'ouverture de la campagne contre la Roumanie, avec les unités allemandes.
Merci

Search for the battle order of the IIIrd Bulgarian army at the beginning of the campaign, with the german units.
Thanks
Sylvain

Is it 1913 or 1916? In 1913 there are not German units (and 3rd Bulgarian army was not there).

Bulgarian POWs

Hello, I am new to the forum and hope someone can help me. The time and place I am interested in is Salonika and Macedonia in the first half of 1917. Some Bulgarian POWs reported (incorrectly) U-boat activity in the port of Kavalla, and I am trying to find the source of this story.
Does anybody know which Allied camps held Bulgarian POWs from these areas?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce

Bulgarian opolchenie

I would like to know something about employment of opolchenie during WW1. Was opolchenie employes also on the front or did it serve only as garrison troops? I know that during Balkan was at least 58th Inf. Rgt. was composed by opolchenie battalions and fought bravely during the siege of Odrin with 11th Division. And during WW1?
Thanks.

Etappe Regiment

Reading (or better trying to read) the VERY VERY VERY interesting book about First Bulgarian Army in the first weeks of WW1, I found a mention of a 8th Etappe regiment. Can anybody tell me anything about this kind of regiment? By wich kind of troops (opolchenie?) was it composed?
Thanks

[dibo]

AFAIK this was a unit that was responsible for training and transfering troops to the front.

Hello, my old friend!

Etappe regiments in ww1 encompassed soldiers aged 45-46 (i.e. those belonging to opolchenie between first ban -40-44 and opolchenie second ban - 47-48). They were mainly responsable for guarding communication lines and rear duty. During mobilisation in 1915 every infantry division fielded one etappe regiment of two battalions each. There were in total ten Etappe regiments and nine separate Etappe labor battalions in 1918.

Nikolay is right of course - my mistake

Many thanks. Nikolay is always well informed!

Excuse me but I have another question. Thanks to Easter holidays I have some free time and I'm trying to put in order my files. In Dibo's Организационна история на БА, I found an interesting an answer of a question that I made sometimes ago, but I'm not sure of the translation. Please help me! :sm186:
About Macedonia Military Inspection I read:
От юни 1918 г. тя е разделена на окупационни райони, а от 11 август с. г. — на Скопска и Щипска дивизи-онни области с по пет полкови военни окръжия.
I'm not sure that I have understand correctly the words in bold.
Thanks.
