thanks ian as usual he has got on his pic an eidelweis on his arm

[Ian Jewison]

What unit was he, Gebirgsjäger Regiment 100?

[douglynn]

yes on page 18 there is entry for 100 btl pay group number 16

[Ian Jewison]

That sounds like Ersatz Bataillon 100 and not the Regiment.....what about page 4 and/or 17? That is where his units are......

[douglynn]

page 17 is empty here is page 4

[douglynn]

ah yes i see it in c box

[Ian Jewison]

Box A was his responsible replacemet office i.e Wehrmeldeamt or Wehrbezirks Kommando.

Box B was his replacment units that he had served with.

Box C was his field units that he had served with.

Box D was his current replacement unit in the rear war area for his current field unit....here he would convalesce if wounded, exchange uniform etc. whilst on leave and so on...he may or may not actually serve with one of these units...if he did then it should correctly be placed in B box, however that was never always done!
