I find it interesting that a man from land-locked Bavaria spent the entire war with a navy unit in the Wilhelmshaven area. I spent a year at the university in W?rzburg, which is a beautiful city. By a coincidence, I recently received a complete WW1 document group of awards, award documents, Milit?rpass and Soldbuch to a Bavarian who served with naval artillery units in the north of Germany, the Somme and FlandersSimon,gottgl. is an abbreviation for gottgl?ubig, which he meas that he believed in God, but didn't commit himself to a particular religious demonination.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
