    Thanks dond!

    I also bought the Militärpaß of the owner of that badge. Unfortunately the badge is not registered, but the battles of Souville are. I´ll show some photos, when it´ll be arrived next week

    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

    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)

    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.
