A Soldbuch I picked up a month ago. I replaced the staples as they were badly rusted. Sorry about the bad pictures.

Nice salty book Steve , what units did he serve with /

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
Re: soldbuch
The only unit that I can ascertain is :
2./Inf. Ers. Btl. 122
I absolutely cannot read German. When I picked it up it was musty and smelled like it had been stuck in a buffaloes butt. I hung it on a line and let it air for a couple of weeks and it is OK now.

Re: soldbuch
Do you have a photo of Pages 4 & 17 which should show all his unit assignments?
