Wehrpaß Query

[JamesT]

Hello

I'm trying to understand this Wehrpaß and accompanying documentation. It does not appear that Willy Uhle actually served but he does have an entry for the EK2 which I assume is WW1.

One accompanying document - Mitteilung (Muster B) seems to say that he was employed at the Wanderer Werke factory in Chemnitz. Presumably this was some sort of protected employment. What do the other documents mean?

Many thanks for your help.

PS - where can I get a guide to the Wehrpaß that I can use for interpreting the entry on each page? Does such a thing exist?

He was awarded the EK II, Wound Badge in Black and the Honour Cross of 1914/1918 (Hindenburg Cross)
Also states he was in the world war from 1.5.15 until 21.12.18.

Thanks Ivan, I'm really struggling with the handwriting so this is most helpful.

There are a number of books available that provide detailed information on German WW2 documents. For example, Jungco (Jeff) - one of the WAF members - has written three books covering a range of document types. Volume 2 covers military, including Soldbuchs and Wehrpasses. His website is: http://jungco.homestead.com/
