    Hi,

    To me it looks like:
    II Ers. - II Ersatz Bataillon
    MG - Machinen Gewehr
    XAK - X Armee Korps.

    So, probably II Ersatz Batl. of the Machinen Gewehr Abt. of the X Army Corps
    Hope it will help you

    Regards,
    Milosz

    Thanks Milosz! Could not figure out what XAK was! Knew someone would know what it was! Do you think the name is Wilhelm and is the other information correct?

    I am not 100% on this one but I think it is 2 Ersatz Maschinengewehr Kompanie des X.Armeekorps, this unit was attached to Infanterie Regiment 368 during 1915. I've found no trace of Wilhelm Schmidt birth or otherwise thus far. Do you have picture of the other side of this one?
