jj08 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 And the third one :And a general view (there was also the historic of the 2. GRzF - 1934) : StephanMy understanding is that the numbers '25'; '50'; etc do mean membership time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minen Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I add a nice photo of the 2 GRzF :And shoulder boards :He was "Jahresklasse 1909" and he fought throughout the war (1916 Gefreiter, 1917 Unteroffizier, Februar 1918 Sergenten). Until 1917 he was in the 2 GRzF and then in the "Feld Rekrut Depot" of the 231 Jnfanterie Division. Here are extracts from his Milit?rpass :Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
