Guys,

Some sort of telegrahist/postal comms operators official promotion doc?

It is a bit rough condition wise but I thought quite unusual?

Hello Jock.

As you rightly point out it is a promotion of this fellow who was a telegraph construction tradesman. At the same time he was accepted into the civil service corps for his life's duration. Postschaffner to which rank he was promoted was the lowest rank in the postal service which also had the telegraph service under its wings.

This document originated in the town of my birth and later schooling. Thanks for showing it.
