My 1st Soldbuch

[bsmith56]

Hey. I'm very new to collecting Soldbuch's, but I recently picked up a few different ones... I don't know very much about them at all except what each page is (for the most part), some of the entries and some more basic stuff. I thought you guys might be interested in seeing them and maybe you can help me translate it and give me some info on the guy, what some of the entries mean, where he served and so on?...

This is the the first one for an Ernst Grosch, and here's some detailed scans of each page:

If you guys want more detailed pictures or zoom ins on parts let me know and I'll make it happen.

I've got 2 more Soldbuchs I am going to post on here in the same manner soon, but I don't want to overload you with too many at once, so I'll wait a day or 2 for each .

Thanks a lot and this is a great hobby to get in to!

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for making your first post here.

You should consider becoming an association member, then you can post the pix directly here instead of all the links.

And we're looking forward to seeing the next 2!

best
