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

Hello Chip. 

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? 

One Hundred Twelve Years ago today... 

On the night of february 8th 1904 the japanese fleet under Admiral Togo Haihachiro attacked the russian ships in Port Arthur...
