Machinist Maat Hans Claussen

[DougO]

Pages 12 and 13 state that Claussen is now a 'INVALIDE ' , --but still gets his monthly pension of 12 Marks .

[DougO]

This glued in fold -up paper declares Claussen on 4.9.1915 as ' Kriegsverwendungsfaehig ' ; which means ,he can serve again !

[DougO]

This glued-in page atop pages 16 and 17 , shows his WW I service from 28.12.1915 to 11.7.1917 at the 1. Abteilung II Werftdivision in Wilhelmshaven .

[DougO]

..and again a close-up of the upside down blue ink cancel .

[DougO]

...AND an other glue-in atop the backside of the other glue-in page , states that his time in Wilhelmshaven counts as 'WARSERVICE TIME '.This was dated 9.8.1918 !
After all these there are also 6 notfied entries that he had shown up at the reserve meetings .

[DougO]

Now with his other items came also this 'Quittungsbuch ' concerning his 'Militaer-Pensionrechnung ', his pension payments .

[DougO]

Here one of the inside pages .

[DougO]

..and an other interesting page .

[DougO]

..and one more .

[DougO]

Also with all the papers and photos came these 5 Imperial tunic buttons , which I assume came from his dress jacket .
Hope you liked this very complete picture concerning a sailor of the Imperial Navy !
I sure do , Bernd .

Very nice collection of a man's history!

[Steve Campbell]

Looks like a great grouping.
