I tried many variants in spelling of Seufert (including with a 'G' which had no results whatsover for German wars between 1870 and 1945).... no results from a variety of sources so it looks likely that he was either posted 'missing', his grave lost, he died at home or his body was repatriated.

Something is amiss somewhere, Dan. The caption 'Posted Image' is coming up instead of either the images or links to them.

You can see the pics if you right-click on the red X, select Properties, then mark and copy/paste the bit beside "Address:" (starts "https://" etc.) into another browser window.

Thanks Daniel. Well, it is definitely Seufert. Matt, apologies for chasing after other spellings. Without having seen the original, I was guessing that the writing might have been more difficult to decipher. It is not uncommon, for example, for S to be mistaken for G in some scripts.

It might be worthwhile to bring this to the attention of the folks over in the Feldgrau forum...German army research is their primary focus. I can cross post it there, if you wish.
