Jools mckenna Posted 27 February , 2019 Share Posted 27 February , 2019 I am pretty sure that this is George Reinhold of Jager Battalion 11(if I've read the rank correctly) who appears 3 times on the Verlustlisten but the only Georg Reinhold I could find was Landsturm so have I read the back incorrectly?

charlie2 Posted 27 February , 2019 Share Posted 27 February , 2019 If you haven‘t already found his ICRC index cards https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Details/3612048/1/2/ https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Details/276239/1/2/ Only RC434 seems to be a valid link. It looks like he was sent to Rouen before he was interned in Switzerland. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxD Posted 27 February , 2019 Share Posted 27 February , 2019 He is writing to the Treschhaus family who are clearly family friends living near to his home in the same district Dear Family Treschhaus Yesterday the 21st March I received your lovely parcel, it contained two sausages, I was delighted with it and say thank you very much. I shall now tell you about my present situation in a few words. It is going fine so far for me here thank God, above all my health, how are you then? Hopefully you are all still healthy and happy. How is Mr Anton Treschhaus? Is he still in his old [troop] unit? I wish him all the best and shall hope that after this awful war he can return to his homeland in good health and unwounded. Now fare well and goodbye. I send you the warmest greetings [Signed] Greetings to the Hausmanns, Kummels and all who know me Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
