Description
This is a combination of a militärpaß and soldbuch from 6. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr 95. (The regiment consisted of men from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Saxe-Meinigen). The man was born in 1897 and entered the Army in 1916. He initially served in the regiment’s II. Ersatz-Bataillon, a Bataillon of replacements for men who had been killed or wounded in battle. Later he transferred into Grenadier-Regiment Nr 11’s Minenwerfer-Kompagnie. He survived the war and mustered out of the army in 1919. His soldbuch is included. His soldbuch lists numerous entries for hospital stays. They are an interesting pair of documents that allow opportunities for additional research.
