The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Yup, it's 'Schützen' as in armoured infantry (not that they had armour, but rather they were infantry associated with armoured units), not as in plain riflemen, and the 4. Kompanie of any unit was an MG Kompanie so this soldier likely received some MG training. Very nice
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
