        I found an annual report (the 21st one)of the association fro the year 1910:

                Dokument

                Mr. Gustav Geiler, Hauptmann in the Bundeswehr (west german army),
                born 20.03.1915, residence in at Hamburg-Blankenese,
                saved - under the most difficult circumstances, incl. risking his own life
                - together with the "Hauer" (german term for mine-worker) Walter Trapp
                at the 25th of april 1957 in the mine "Füsseberg Friedrich Wilhelm"
                the "Grubensteiger" (another miners job) Ernst Peter, born 16.03.1924,
                residence of Holzhausen, community Siegen,
                from danger for life; (by acting that way he has) given a very spe-
                cial proof for both brave and self-offerings.

                To honor this act (we) award to him the
                honor medal for mine-rescue,
                furthermore this doc was written.

                Mainz, 24th of november 1959 (TWO years later!)

                The president of (community) Rheinlad Pfalz

                      Hello Gerdan and Gran Sasso ,
                      I had assumed the document related to his military service with him being in uniform .
                      Many thanks for the information its very helpful and ties up with the mining photos of him in the album , it appears he rejoined military service later than I had previously believed .

                          What's a Zugvogel.

                          I tried the Medals and Awards forum, but for some reason, am not able to post pictures there.

                          I was hoping that someone with a better grasp of the language might be able to comprehend all of these abbreviations.

                          So, what is a Zugvogal - is that a Homing Pigeon? Did this guy's pigeon fly 142.7 Kilometers to win 25th place in a pigeon racing contest???????
