Hello Chris!

Do you know, where he served in 1913?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

 

in 1914 he was in the ersatz battalion of the 18. bIR,

Ersatz... That means, he was a reserve-officer. I only have the 13 ranklist; there we would have the first names

Gents,

That would be Major z.D. Eugen Schuster.  1914 he was Bez. Offiz. d. Landw. Bez. I München.  He does not have much of a file on ancestry.de, but he is listed there under Ers./bay. 18. IR.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the efforts.

I think there must be more of him on ancestry, my guess is they screwed up with his first name and we will never find the rest of his stuff :-(

All the best

Hi,

I see a Josef Schuster as a Major in the 18th as well?

Man, these guys are really elusive! :-(
