"Zum Andenken von Deinem Bruder Fridolin"

Hi does that mean "In memory of your dear brother Fridolin" ? Fridolin is an unusual name.

Here's a Gebirgsjager, I believe, with a bayonet. On the back, I think is a location name and year.

Maj. Freiherr von Kunsberg

Here is Major Freiherr von Kunsberg. I was told he led a Sonderkommando unit, but I don't know. Is the white jacket a summer type officer's jacket?

I have some problems with the writing in general. It start with the first two words which I can not read.

"Major Freiherr von Künsberg - August 1941 - in Leschino/Laschino ? (Ruhe ?)"

Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.
