    Navy

    d.S.I  = der Seewehr 1. Aufgebot

    d.S.II  = der Seewehr 2. Aufgebot

     

    Army

    d.L. = der Landwehr

     

    Msch. d.S. II = Maschinist (Navy)
    Strm. D. S. Ii = Steuermann (Navy)
    Masch. D.L. = Maschinist (Army)
    Rath.Feldlaz.Geiste
    Int.Rat.
    Strm.D.S.I = Steuermann (Navy)
    Mar.Zahlm.Ob.Appl. = Marine Zahlmeister Oberapplikant (Navy)
    Steuermann D.L. = Steuermann (Army)
    Msch. d.S. II
    Kr.Ger.Sekr.
    Masch.D.S
    Ob.Matr. Artl.akt = Ober-Artilleristematrose
    Strm.D.S.I
    Ob.Strm.D.L. = Obersteuermann (Army)
    Ober-Artill-M = Artillerie Ober? (can't say if it is a Maat ort Matrose)
    Mil.Krankenw.
    Strm.D.S.I
    Msch. d.S. II
    Ob. Artl.Mt.S.II = Ober-Artilleristenmaat
    Ob. Bts. Mt. S. II = Ober-Bootsmannsmaat
    Ob.Matr. Artl.akt
    Ober-Artill-M
    Lt.d.M.I.d.R.m = Leutnant der Reserve der Matrosenartillerie
    Ob. Msch. d.L. = Obermaschinist
    Strm.D.S.I
    Kapitänleutnant S. II
    Ob. Mtr. Artl.
    Ober Bts. Mt. d.Ldst
    F.N. Vetr.
    Steuermann D.L.
    Ober Verm. Strm. = Ober-Vermessungs-Steuermann

    Ober Maschinist. d.S. = Ober-Maschinist

     

    I think the the rest is self-explenatory.

    Thank you very much with your help! You truly are gentlemen! :)

     

    I am far from an expert, but is this really correct?

     

    Lt.d.M.I.d.R.m = Leutnant der Reserve der Matrosenartillerie

    I would have guessed it would be Leutnant der Marineinfanteri der Reserve or something. 

     

    Would Ober Bts. Mt. d.Ldst be Ober-Bootsmannsmaat der Landsturm? Or what does Ldst mean?


    I might ask some more questions about abbrevations later. Not necessarily ranks but more about troops, regiments and such. Should I create a new topic for that or continue here?

    The correct writing is Leutnant der Reserve der Matrosenartillerie

     

    Ldst = Landsturm

     

    But I don't think that an Ober-Bootsmannsmaat der Labsturm is correct. Maybe it is a misstake.
