Heer WW2 soldbuch and questions

[armybrat43]

I recently picked up this soldbuch and a wehrpas. I can speak and read some german and have pretty much figured out the wehrpas. But my german is rusty and the person I go for help (mother) eyes aren't to good these days. I know that this individual served in a construction company and saw duty in the eastern front. I also know that he recieved the Eastern Front medal. He was also issued a K98K with bayonet, and the other normal issue items. I still have several pages that I'm working on translating and any help from fellow collectors would be great.

first pic is of the awards he recieved.

Here's what I can add:

Post 4: 14 July 1942 winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42 (Ostmedaille) Verliehen durch Batt. ?? Nr. 110 p. 14.7.42 ?.(the rest I can?t figure out).

Post 6: His promotion page. #1 looks like Pionier, 2 is Gefreiten, 3 is obergefreiten, and 4 says ?Promotion? but doesn?t give a rank. ?Datum? is obviously the date of promotion. The ?Truppenteil? column gives his unit of assignment at the time.

Post 8: History of medical treatment in field hospitals. First is for hepatitis, second is for a wound or illness, code #17. There?s lists of what the various numbers stand for, but I don?t have a link handy.

Post 9: Release date, special notes, and signature of person who released him from field hospital.

Post 10: I believe this is a record of pay received.

Thank you very much for the added info on this individual. I was also thinking that he was reassigned in 43 from a construction company to a pioneer company. Is there anyway to find this out for sure?
