    Militärpass - reading/translation assistance request


    Recommended Posts

    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.

    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.

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