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 )
1st July 1916
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
Thank you very much Paul.
Forget to mention the Wehrmacht is the whole of the German Armed Forces and is a word that encompasses the Heer , Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen SS although many people use it as if it refers only to the Heer ( Army ) !!

According to the death card he had only EKII and War Merrit Cross with swords II class + "other awards". These "other awards" usually mean sport awards or similar. Wound badges are usually mentioned in death notices.
You are correct Juhan it does say other awards !!

thank you everyone for all your help.
It can be just a small village and actually the death card says he was killed somewhere near of this village. Novopetroviche is also very common Russian or Belorussian village name - The New Petroviche. Maybe someone from Russia can help You.
thank you frundsberg.
