Heer Wehrpass Entries - "Afrika" Entitlement

[jwburchell]

Showing here a couple of pages from a recently-acquired Wehrpass document. Just checking to make sure that I understand the entries correctly.

As I read it, this soldier on 25.9.42 was serving with the 5./Pz.-Armee Nachr.-Rgt.10 (page 12). On 1.5.43 (page 22) he was promoted to Obergefreiter (stamp showing Feldpostnummer 05795) and received his entitlement to the AFRIKA" cufftitle (page 23) around that time (same Feldpostnummer and signature).

The Feldpostnummer indicates that his unit was in North Africa (Tunis) at that time.

All feedback appreciated. Thanks!

On p. 24 he has the German-Italian Medal and the Afrika cuff band.

Thank you, pauke! That confirmation is better than I expected!
