Hi!

I 'll give it a try: I think it's

Schießstand b.(eim) ...?

Scharfschießer unserer Kompanie

Firing range in ? (must be a place?)

Our Company's sharpshooters

Cheers, Giorgos

Bochfort?

[stray_dog]

Bochfort is indeed plausible... It appears as the name of at least one French place after a quick google search, at least!

Cheers, Giorgos!

It doesn't mean "sharpshooters" it means "sharpshooting of our companie".

Kind regards,

Peter

So it's "Scharfschießen" and not "Scharfschießer"... Tricky!

Cheers, Giorgos

Thank You Gentelmen, this means alot.

So i have "Firing Range in Bochfort, Sharpshooters of our company"

Sincerely,

"Scharfschießen" also was Army slang for firing with live ammunition or training with live ammunition.
