I am putting together an historic outline of the German defenders of this location. It seems the mines hit at the junction of two regiments, the 9th Bavarians and the 5th Bavarian IR.
_
It seems the Ultimo mine went off just below the 12/9th Bavarian IR whose ranks included a fellow New Yorker who was listed as missing presumed killed.
_
I hope to have the full details and at least one map if not two shortly.

Ralph, the New Yorker with the Bavarians adds a fantastic new dimension to this and really underlines again the global nature of the war.
