Couldn't get a translation for this
It says "An der Pregel", i.e. "By the Pregel".
Pregel is the German name for a river that is known in Russian as the Pregolja [Преголя] and in Lithunian as the Prieglius.
Located in northern East Prussia, it is now on Russian territory, in the Kaliningrad Oblast.

At a drill?
The first caption says "Tr.Üb.Pl. [= Truppenübungsplatz] Stablag", i.e. "Military Training Area Stablag". I cannot find any reference to a "Truppenübungsplatz Stablag", but I am almost 100% certain that this was simply a spelling error by the album's original owner:
There was a Truppenübungsplatz Stablack located at Preußisch Eylau. Preußisch Eylau, known in Russian as Bagrationowsk [Багратионовск] and in Polish as Pruska Iława is also located in the aforementioned Oblast Kaliningrad and today a part of Russia.
The second caption says "B-Stelle [= Beobachtungsstelle] beim Scharfschießen", i.e. "Observation Post during a live-firing exercise"

Graves and preparations of fighting positions.
On the cross it's written 2.A.R.57
2 stands for company
I assume R = regiment
What does the A stand for?
2./A.R. 57 means 2nd Battery of Artillery Regiment 57.
