    Beautiful enamel and an impressive set.

    Would anyone care to take a stab at translating the Wundzettel? I would be interested to know where his wound(s) were.

    Thanks,

    Chip

    Interesting indeed Chip

    - Meurer

    - Leutnant der Reserve

    - RFAR 60 – 7. Battereie

    - Linker Unterschenkel - Rücken links - Hinterkopf

    - Notverband - 6 Uhr morgens 9.Juni 1918

    – Arznei: Morphium and Tetanus

    Oberflächlicher Durchschuss am Hinterkopf – Granatsplitter-Steckschuss am linken Unterschenkel mit Fraktur des Wadenbeins – Granatsplitter–Steckschuss des Wirbelbogens.

    Translation:

    On June 9, 1918 at 0600 hours near Vassens, Lieutenant Meurer had been severely wounded.*

    His wounds were:

    - a superficial shot through the back of the head,

    - a grenade-fragment in the left calf with fracture to the fibula,

    - and another grenade-fragment in his back, stuck next to a vertebrae.

    He was treated at the scene with an emergency bandage and given Morphine and Tetanus shots.

    * (Note that in his "additional personal data" they got the date and time wrong.)

    Thanks Hardy! Great job. I really like these tags. They fill in the story behind the wound badge. And as Claudio mentioned, you don't see them that often, as they were normally thrown away. I have two of them and am still looking for one with a green border for gas victims.

    How did you ever find a grouping like this? This the most impressive that I have seen. I am trying to put together a grouping for a officer who stuff that i have. I have a HOH3X document, photo, EK1, Ribbon bar. I am trying to get all fo the medals to complete grouping, but you have a grouping that is a gold mine. i am jealeous. :)
