Help with Deutsche Schrift

[Dave Danner]

Hi all,

 

I hope someone can make this out, because I am at a loss.  The handwriting itself is legible, but the word - I assume a place name - escapes me.

 

The first part appears to be "Gruppenzahnstation", which sounds odd to me but I suppose that is what they called such places.  I don't even know what we'd call such places ("field dental clinic"?).  The second part looks like "Isegem" or something like that, but I can't find such a place.

 

I included some extra text above and below so the style of handwriting was clear.

 

 

Thanks,

Dave
