Hello/bonjour to all forum members, it is great to be able to ask questions on the forum in english.
 
One of my special research interests are Franch territorial infantry regiments (RIT) in the Great War.  Could someone tell me please what were the numbers of their depot companies?  
 
For example, if a regiment had 3 battalions (companies 1-12); were the depot companies numbered 13-15? if the regiment had 4 battalions, were they numbered 17 to 20?  
   
Thanks, this information will help me understand what is on Memorial-Genweb better.
 
Thanks/merci,
 
Martin      

Hi Martin,
I don't know if that will suit you, but you may find some interest in that earlier thread about the topic you're working on (if you understand enough French to go through all this; the "international forum" didn't exist at that time...):

Eric,
 
Thanks for your e-mail, the earlier thread is very informative. I had seen it as I check the forum regularly as I can read french well enough to understand the important points.  
 
I would still like to hear from any forum members who know about RIT depot companies (even if the reply is in french).  
 
My thanks,
Martin.

Hello,
 
I know many RIT depot companies. What is your question ?
 
Bye

 
Marc,
 
Thanks for your reply to my e-mail;
 
My question is what were the numbers of the depot companies of a RIT, were they always the same for all regiments?  
 
Thanks,
Martin
