Wehrpass entries help...

[Lynton Battrick]

Hi, I have a few entries in this Wehrpass that I'd like to double check and some I need help with altogether.

Any help would be great.

On the first is the entry for religion just Evanglist?

On the second photo, what is the fathers occupation please? Cherricker?

[Lynton Battrick]

On the first photo what is the entry for his education please, looks like Aktiv?

On the second he is record as a volunteer, can anyone give me a translation of this entry and explain why it's crossed out?

[Lynton Battrick]

On the first, could someone please tell me the meaning of the entries on the RAD page, I never have understood these, ie, when did he start, finish labour service etc?

Second photo, what is the entry underneath Gefallen 18/05 and why would the date have been changed?
