RE: [Cz-L] Regiment 15

I wonder if when they got back to Czernowitz they joined the militia
commanded by First Lieutenant Leon Schmelzer. There were bands of
Cossacs,Ukrainian irregulars etc and the well.armed returning soldiers did a
very good job in protecting the city until Romanian troops appeared.

My father (Oscar Ezra Wolf) was recruited at the end of 1917 (after he
returned from the "flucht'). I don't know to what unit, but I know that his
cousin (Alexander Srul Hebel) who was already serving for 2 years arranged
for my father to join him on the Italian front where he served till the army

there actually disintegrated at the end of the war and both cousins had to
hitchhike all the way back to Czernowitz which was in the process of
becoming Romania. As for "elderly" men serving I know that my maternal
grandfather (Isidor Srul Ruhm) who lived in Suczawa and was born on 1870
joined a volunteer unit that was attached to the regular forces in the area.
