1. Place of birth? It would be near Schwerin, as he was based with the 12.ID.
2. I'm reading his profession as "Kellner" / Waiter. Yes?
3. Zwei Narben an der rechten Hals ?

Hi Ian, Great question re: leave entries. Sadly, the leave pages are missing. The last page in the SB is the awards (pg.22). Here is Pg.1 with his Wehrnummer... Best, John

Place of birth: could it be "Hamborn" ?

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamborn

The town Hamborm belonged to Kreis Dinslaken.

The father of your guy lived in a town, Kreis Dinslaken.

The exact name of the town I can't make out.

Thank you Gerdan - much appreciated.

It makes one wonder how a young man from North Rhine-Westphalia ended up enlisting in WBK Schwerin?

Best Regards,
John
