April 26th 1917 Ghent Belgium
The 8th Bavarian Infantry Regiment having suffered severe losses during the battle of Arras (the second and third battalions had been rendered combat ineffective) had been sent, along with the rest of the 14th Bavarian Infantry Division, to a rest camp behind the lines to recover and resupply. Today they boarded trains for the eastern Front.
