There was reference to being in Juterbug and in this regiment, field artellary as a gunner. Do you knowwhere I could find more information on that unit? I wonder what he did in the army. He was only 17 or 18!

Hello, I am so happy I came along this thread--albeit several years later! I am very new to genealogy and have found myself needing to learn so much about WWI to understand my grandfathers story. I have been a journey to learn about his military career/history and his personal story. I never had the chance to meet him as he died when my Dad was a young boy. My Dad died when I was a teenager as well. So, here I sit as an adult; trying to learn the story of where I come from. I was hoping someone on this thread could help me?
I recieved some military documents pertaining to a stay at a military hospital outside of Berlin. There is mention of this regiment on his documents. Could anyone help me gain more knowledge from these documents or even details on his service/assignments? I was told that he recieved several medals of honor and courage. I would love to understand this better. Any help or guidance would be so very much appreciated!!!

Thank @The Prussian! Would he have recieved medals of honor for simply being in the army? I was told by my Dad's best friend growing up--that he had several medals for bravery and leadership of some sort. From these records, it does appear that his stint in the army was very short. Was that common?
