Goodevening guys,

Today I got a new EKM in the mail.
This is a nice complete one from 4. Batterie Artillerie-Ersatz-Abteilung 24, with rollnumber 5166 and bloodtype 'A'.

The photo isn't great, as it gets dark here early. I will try to take better photographs later this week.

Regards, Rik

Very nice disc!
