XXIV Reserve Corps (German Empire)

The XXIV Reserve Corps was a formation of the German Army during World War I. It was part of the Imperial German Army and was formed in August 1914 as part of the mobilization. Reserve Corps generally consisted of older, often less-trained, reservists compared to active duty corps.

The XXIV Reserve Corps primarily saw action on the Western Front throughout the war. Early battles included involvement in the Race to the Sea, specifically around Lille and the Yser. It subsequently participated in various battles along the Western Front, often in the Artois and Flanders regions. Detailed combat histories would need to be reviewed to pinpoint specific engagements and locations throughout its service.

The Corps was typically composed of two reserve divisions, though its specific composition varied over the course of the war as units were transferred in and out. Its performance, like that of other reserve formations, was initially a mixed bag, but it gradually improved as the war progressed and its soldiers gained experience.

After the armistice in November 1918, the XXIV Reserve Corps, like most of the German Army, was demobilized and formally disbanded.
