Just back from meeting my wife's family in Europe. Though no one fought in any war, ahem, we dug up her grandfather's brother's Militaerpass. I hope you can help me make sense of it!
Thanks,
Marc

He did his regular service, as I believe we discussed before, in Royal Saxon Schützen (Füsilier-) Regiment Nr. 108 from 1903 to 1905, then went into the reserves. On 7 April 1911, he went over the Landwehr 1st levy.
He was called up at the beginning of the war, on 6 August 1914. He ended up in the 3rd company of Royal Saxon Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 104. He saw action in 1914 and 1915, and was taken prisoner by the French on 27 September 1915.
It looks like he wasn't repatriated from French POW control until February 1920.Comment
