[Lynton Battrick]

I'm looking for a lot of help with the translation of this these battle entries please?
I have got the first 2-Occupation troops in Belgium/France,and Occupation Troops in France and have managed to pick out Verwendung/Use at the start of entries, but that is about it.
So any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Lynton.

And just to managed to get Operational Area of A.O.K.4? in the entry dated 27/10/41-05/12/41 but not the start of it.

Exellent!!

Thanks Ian for translating that for me,It's greatly appreciated .
I know theres alot there,but no other way trying to get it done as i couldn't read most of it either
So for that,I think I owe you a beer or two when I next see you at a show!!
Cheers,lynton.

I've been trying to teach myself how to read sutterlin script. Something I have found helpful is a key that correlates sutterlin characters to modern. There are many of these online. Using it to translate is like decrypting a code, and is actually kind of fun once you get the hang. After awhile you learn to recognize the various letters from memory...

[Lynton Battrick]

Yes,I'm trying!!I think I have already picked up alot in the last couple of weeks,and seem to be getting the better.But it all takes time!!
I'm sure I'll get there in the end.
Cheers for the advice,Lynton.
