bolewts58 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Normally, I don't have a problem reading Kurrentschrift. But, I'm having trouble with some of the text, especially in the middle of the page because of the handwriting. It seems he was taking some kind of course which maybe had something to do with machining and perhaps types of airplane engines. But, that is a wild guess because there are too many gaps that I can't fill in. I may be way off. Is there anyone who can please give me a hand? thanks Brian Edited February 11, 2019 by bolewts58

speedytop Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Hi, there was a Motorenfabrik in Oberursel, producing Gnom (Gnome) engines as U-series and UR-series. The word before Oberursel could be a military abbreviation for Motorenschule (Mosch). Uwe Edited February 11, 2019 by speedytop
bolewts58 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Fantastic! Thank you very much to both spolei and speedytop for your help. This all makes sense as he was previously in Hannover Pionier Batl. 10 and afterwards was in an Eisenbahn-Bau Kompagnie in Panzerzug III, Freikorps Hulsen responsible for armor-plating the train and other construction duties.
