• E.M. = Erinnerungsmedaille, which is the Prussian 1897 Centenary Medal
• M.Schw.E.M. = should be Mecklenburg-Schwerinsches Ehrenmedaille für opferwillige Hülfe in Wassersnot, the 1888 Elbe Flood medal.
• M.G.F.F.III. = 1897 Mecklenburg-Schwerinsches Gedächtnismedaille für Friedrich Franz III

Do these fit the timeframe of your document?

Translation help please

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could have a look at the German on the back of a recent purchase of mine, here is the link:

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtop...?f=50&t=191834


I believe it says

"(unreadable) gruesst (unreadable) in der Mundart 17 Kompanie"

Is this correct?

Thanks for any help
Steve

The entry under Gestalt is schlank, "thin" or "lanky".

[Frank Fourquet]

Thank you very much Gerdan & Dave Danner. I was able to decrypt the Soldbuch, but I resisted these words. Good job for both!
Now to see if anyone helps me with the signature of Hauptmann...

Regards!

[Gerdan]

The name of the Hauptmann is starting with " Dr. " His family name could start with " L... "


Gerdan

[Frank Fourquet]

It could be Dr. Lutchuz?....

Frank,

sorry, but "Lutchuz" is not a name existing in Germany, nor in the recent German phone book nor

in the Volksbund list and I did nout find him in the catalogue of the German National Library where

his doctoral thesis/dissertation should be listed.
