Don the 1914 TO&E indicates that each Infantry Battalion had twenty-six officers and 1053 enlisted man.
Although it was part of a Hessian Division, the 254th Reserve Regiment was from Wuerttemberg. The Wuerttemberg Army's motto, "Furchtlos und Treu"(Fearless and Loyal) appears at the bottom of the card.[/QUOTE]
