78.Infanterie regiment Gerba was Croatian unit in common K.u.K army . Recruting area was city Osijek and Slavonia. During entire war unit was part of 13.Inf.Brigade later renamed 71.inf.Brigade. which in turn was the whole war part of
36.Inf.Division.
78.IR
war path is very similar to 16.IR and 53.IR as they were in same division. It fought from 8-12.1914 in Serbia,
1.1915-2.1918 Russian battlefield (Galicia,Bukowina), from 2.1918 is on
Italian battlefield.
Regiment
had 4 battalions in 1914, and during most of the war. This changed in reorganisation in the end of
1917 and early 1918 to 3 batallions. Probably in spring of 1918 78.IR was reformed and made up of batallions I, II/78.IR, and II/70.IR . Batallions III and IV/78.IR become I and II of 116.IR
