dond Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 A piece of crap to commemorate an infamous slaughter. Funny how military disasters foster all sorts of commemoratives and high awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Hello Chip!I think it´s nothing special, but the listings of the Souville battle. First he was in 117, then in R81 and later in 1918 in R88.Probably it´ll arrive on wednesday or thursday Edited April 13, 2015 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Note the promotion from 17.4.1918."Wegen Tapferkeit vor dem Feinde zum etatmäßigen Unteroffizier befördert"Because of braverey in front of the enemy, promoted to "budgetary NOC"How do I translate "etatmäßig" correctly?:"budgetary" or "on the establishment"? His injuries:9.6.18: südwestl. Rollot verwundet A.G. rechte Wange (southwest of Rollot wounded at the right cheek by artillerie-shell). Rollot is near Montdidier (Somme, Picardie); A.G. means "Artillerie-Geschoß" (shell)3.10.18: verwundet linker Arm und rechtes Bein (wounded left arm and right leg) Edited April 19, 2015 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 The "Vocabulary of German Military Terms and Abbreviations" 1917-18 translates etatsmäßigen as "on the establishment". I assume this means on the permanent rolls as an Unteroffizier.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanx Chip!That is the problem. Probably you don´t have that term in the US army. Would you translate it in the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
