Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
This unit was formed in Feb 1942 to provide reinforcements for the Security groups , reception of the troops returning from leave or from being wounded and was formed in Narva with the Staff and Ambulance being situated in the famous Hermannsburg fortress.
In late October 1942 it was merged into the Ost Ers Btl Estn Narva when the security groups were replaced by the Estonian Ost Battalions , most of the men went on to be involved in the heavy Narva Front fighting in 1944.
