    Could you show us the article of ancestry, please?

    You wrote: Frins, Iruis, Jruis and Trnis.

    In german language only Frins makes sense.

    Hi, all of the 4 used by ancestry were wrong, all transcription errors.... the real name is Irnis, he is listed in the Bavarian Bravery medal book as being in the 30 b.I.R. but he was in the Leib Regt until being wounded on the 28th of June 1916 at Ve4dun.

    Irnis was the man who along with 2 comrades dug the Bavarian Prince and his staff out of the celler whose entrence had collapsed under bombardement at Fleury, the next day he spent hours under enemy artillery fire salvaging the body of the Battalion 2 ic.

    Hi,

    I found him on ancestry by entereing his first name and birth date. As I said, the people at ancestry transcribed Irnis on 4 different records with the name as shown in the title ;-)
