Nice looking document... I see no problems.

Friedrich was a member of the Fla-Schwadron of schwere Kavallerie-Abteilung 3 which was a part of the 3. Kavallerie-Brigade.

He was wounded on the Ostfront, and a little bit more research on that Division should show you exactly where they were fighting. The document was drawn up 2 months after he was wounded in a Reserve Lazarett (a closer view of the stamp should show you which one).

Edit: Simon beat me to it... Here's a little more info for you though.

Looks like the hospital was Reservelazarett Beuron, in Kreis Sigmaringen. A six-hundred and ten bed facility.

Nice document.

Best regards,

I have to wonder if this Obergefreiter was related to Oberst Wilhelm Klink.

Best regards,

Here is a photo of the place where the guy recovered from his wounds: Reservelazarett Beuron, also known as the Hotel Klosterhof-Beuron.
