SchR 23

As the coat of arms on the badge shows, it was a Dalmatian regiment. The crew came from the area of ​​Sebenico (now Sibenik). The headquarters and cadre were in the city of Zara. The regiment was part of the 47th division and in peace the XVI. used corps. During the Great War, the entire regiment was assigned to the 5th mountain brigade. It was first used in Serbia, then from May 1915 on the Italian front with the 58th Division (XVIth Corps). In 1915-16 they were in the Görz area.

In addition to the coat of arms of Dalmatia, the badge also features the name of Podgora, which commemorates the battles in Görz. Panowitz was a village near the middle course of the Isonzó. Desperate battles took place here in August 1916 during the 6th battle of Isonzo. The interpretation of the name Zajcica is still to be seen. Such geographical names also occur in Slovenia and Serbia, I have not been able to find the Dalmatian equivalent. I have already written about the regiment’s other badge here.
