IrishGunner Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I'm hoping one of our German script/handwriting experts can help me with these Militärpass pages. Christoph Cohrs entered service with Lauenburgisches Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.45 in Altona-Bahrenfeld on 22 Nov 1917; assigned to the Genesenen-Batterie FAR 45 on 16 Feb 1918. Here's where my "reading" of the Pass breaks down... I can't decipher what's on these pages related to his time with the Genesenen-Batterie. Any assistance in reading/translation appreciated.
Bernhard H.Holst Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Hello. On 17.Feb. 1918 to the listed unit.(Ersatzbatterie) On 5.Mar.1918 through Stellv.Armeekorps, IX Benefits Section as not fit for war duty discharged to Bremen without benefits.

IrishGunner Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks Bernhard! Here's the only other page with info from the Pass; it mentions the discharge to Bremen... Not sure what else it might say.
Bernhard H.Holst Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Hello Rick. He complied with residence registration requirements by giving his Bremen address as listed. Reported his departure from Bremen withdate of 10.Mar.1919 to Rotenburg BTW: i am familiar with the Bremen street address and his relocation to Rotenburg happens to be to both my wife's and my hometown.

Bernhard H. Holst Thanks, Bernhard. That's cool about the hometown connection. Too bad he wasn't a "better" soldier with a more interesting Pass.
