The soldier next to him is a vize-feldwebel first of I was mixing up these chevrons with fencing ones now I realize the fencing ones are not as wide if the wound badge is silver are officers version the cut out type ?

Nachdem der Morgen verh?ltnism??ig ruhig verlaufen war, belgte der Feind am Nachmittage das Lager der Res. Komp. hart n?rdlich des Bismarck-Waldes mit etwa 350 Schu?. Die Unterst?nde wurden betr?chtlich besch?digt, Verluste traten jedoch nicht ein. Die l. M.G. wurden nach und nach in Stellung gebracht.

Dem Ltn. d. R Schumann und dem Unteroffz. Leerhoff 7./91 wurden f?r ihr ausgezeichnetes Verhalten in allen Gefechten das E.K.I verliehen.

The morning passed relatively calmly. In the afternoon the enemy occupied the camp of the Reserve Kompagnie north of the Bismarckwald with roughly 350 (infantry?). The shelters were seriously damaged, but there were no losses. The light machine guns were gradually moved into position. Leutnant d. R. Schumann and Unteroffz. Leerhoff of the 7./91 were awarded the EKI for excellent behavior in all engagements.
