Chris Boonzaier Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I have dozens of documents I have not yet had time to research.... including this Eatern Front one. I like Bavarian, but am not big on the eastern front..... Imagine what this document has hiding behind it....
IrishGunner Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Which "Gefecht" ... I can't read the hand-writing?
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 Gefecht on the Stochod river, during the Brussilov offensive
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 A couple of nice surprises with this doc... the first was finding out he served from May 1915 until October with the IV Schneeschubataillon, then a short stint in the Leib Regiment before being tansfered to the 3rd Bavarian Infantry regiment
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 A cool thing on his record... it is entered that he may wear the Edelweiss for the duration of the war....
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Another cool thing is.... For the longest time I thought it was one of the Eastern Front dead end things.... little or no info to be found... then i discovered this book gathering dust on my shelves......
