Hello Nicholas,
WWI Soldbücher did not record awards, the Militärpaß recorded his combat, engagements etc. also leadership qualities etc. on seperate pages, if he was awarded a particular award it would be noted on one of these pages for that particular action.....don't have one to hand to say which pages it might have been!
Reichswehr Militärpässe had an area for awards.
When you say Wehrpaß do you mean Militärpaß?
Can you show your example or is it a general question?

I Guess It's A General Question. I Do Have A Militarpass From Wurttenburg. It Came With The Iron Cross And A Wrutenburg Medal That I Purchased A Couple Years Ago. Most Of The Handwritten Script Give Me A Headache Trying To Wade Through It, And My Knowledge Of German Is Not That Good. I Know That 3rd. Reich Militarpass And Soldbuchs Have The Awards On A Certain Page; I Was Just Hoping That The Same Was True Of Imperial Documents. Thanks For Your Help, Though. At Least I Have An Idea Where To Look Now.
Best Regards,

Try page 3 "Orden und Ehrenzeichen" (prussian passes)
or section 9.
Often awards were noted as mentioned above, within the chronology of battles/campaigns. in the middle part of the book.
