    This is from a very nice Verdun postcard... the sender traced his route on a map...

    From what i can see... he must have been a bavarian...

    Hi Chris,

    I think, he is from Baden, 1. Badisches Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 109.

    11. Juni 1916

    Liebling!

    hebe bitte diese Karte

    sehr sehr gut auf! Es ist

    eine teuere Erinnerung

    da wir 109er diesen Teil

    gestürmt haben!

    Herzliche Grüße

    Franz

    Darling!

    please keep this card very, very safe!

    It is a valuable recollection because we 109er forced this part!

    Kind Regards

    Franz

    ... this part! = a special location on the card on the other side?

    Hi Chris,

    Is it possible to see the photo ?

    My Great Grand-father was killed near Thiaumont (29 june 1916).

    He was in the 19th Bavarian Inf Regt... so this is a mystery....

    Where is the mystery ?

    This unit was in "Flandern" and "Franz Flandern" at this time.

    Is there other entries after this date in his Militärpass ?

    Thanks,

    if I just knew which Verzeichnis ... :-)

    Any ideas for 15?

    I think it is "Mutter..." and the rest is greek...

    Best

    Chris

    Chris, all I can make out is: Mutter verst. 25.10.18 (most likely in this case abbreviation for verständigt but it is also the abbr. for verstorben). The rest are more abbreviations, sorry.
