Chip Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hello Stefan, Thanks for showing your photos. My grandfather was in WWI and I only have two pictures of him during the war. You are very fortunate to have this many. Regards, Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 It looks like he worked in an officer's Kasino, perhaps as an enlisted waiter? I can't make out the white handwriting on the second photo. The third photo looks like field training (2.Corporalschaft, 5.Komp., I.R,165). Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Hello! The third photo says: "Abkochen in Altengrabow" and something with a 9 or an g ??? Abkochen = cooking out in the open Altengrabow was the training ground of the IV. army corps, to which the regiment belonged. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truppen%C3%BCbungsplatz_Altengrabow Edited February 9, 2016 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The First reads "Offizer Kasino Alten Grabow 1912" The Second one reads "Erholungsbedürftige Ordonanzen i. d. Sommerfrische 1912" The third one reads "2.Corp. 5/165 b. Abkochen in Alten Grabow 1911" Greetings Stefan Thank you Prussian Are "Abkochen" a military slang or do they realy mean to cooking something out?
