Waiting list created.
Now guys, I need your help! As you can see I'm trying to be as accurate as possible with the names of units within this BoP. So far I've been able to ask a few friends of mine with help with the Danish and Dutch but I'm going to need more help soon. I got French and German already done so no need for help with those. Examples: 2ème Corps d'Armée, 3ème Division de Cavalerie or Gardekorps, Garde Kavallerie Division.
What I need help with is the accurate naming and number systems for nations like Russia, Bulgaria, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Ottomans etc. for Infantry, Cav, Mountain, Guards, Guard Cav, Marines etc. Divisions as well as Corps and Armies.
I don't speak swedish, unfortunately. And I'm having a hard time finding any detailed informations regarding Sweden's WW1 military structure :/

Abbreviations used

LGrd = Lifeguard (l.-gv. = leyb-gvardi)
SibCorps = Sibirian Corps (Sib. k = Sibirsky korpus)
TurkCorps = Turkestan Corps (Sib. k = Sibirsky korpus)
Example:
3rd Army Corps:

Here is the Italian Order of battle - seems they named them by the area they were mustered from, think the P.A.L's of Britian.
