Document registry

[Tom Y]

Here's something I've been thinking about for a while. In the interest of restoring doc groups I suggest we set up a registry of our loose documents so that they can possibly be reunited. Here are a few that I can read without too much trouble:

1914 EKII
Unteroffizier Singhoff
Brig. Ersatz Batl. 42, 4 Komp
Awarded 22/5/14
(Rank undecipherable) Karl Johannes Heinrick (?)
Hesse
Awarded 1/11/14

Hamburg Hanseatenkreuz
Unteroffizier Walter Otto
2 Batl Fußartillerie Rgt. 2
Awarded 26-3-17
Whoa, I just discovered I also have his EKI doc as Zallmeister , awarded in 1921. From a different source I don't know how many times I looked at these and never made the connection.

And the more mundane:

Militärpaß
Julius Salzmanga
DOB 15-6-78
Res. Inf. Rgt. 2, 6 Komp. in 1914
Fusilier Johann Phillipp
DOB 26-10-87
Niederrheinisches Füsl. Rgt.39, 12 Komp. in 1918

Rick, you might be deluged with a bunch of chicken scratches soon when I start trying to ID some of this stuff.

Hey Tom...
that guy who got it in May 1914 must have been on a special mission

Well, check some German cemeteries: I found already two who died before August 1914, one in May and one in June. These must have been on the same mission...

Sorry, 1915. Here's an early 1914, though.
