Feldpost Cards Paul Neumann

[Stanley Who]

Hello everybody here,

I have these two "Feldpost" cards from my GrossOnkel Paul Neumann (gefallen 1918 France).

Are you able to identify rank and division/battalion etc., from these cards.
The card with the foal I can see an insignia on his arm that looks medical style to me.

I have no idea what is written on them. except they are from Russia.

With thanks in advance.

Hallo Jan,
zur Bestimmung des Bataillons ist eine Vergrößerung der Schulterklappe erforderlich.


Hello, Jan,
To determine the battalion, an enlargement of the epaulette is necessary.

Hello Jan,

according to the german/prussian casualty lists, your PAUL NEUMANN had the rank of an "Sanitäts-Unteroffizier" = "Medical Sergeant".
The Military unit ist not mentioned in this list, which you can find here: http://des.genealogy.net/search/show/8204022

Kind regards

Hi Jan,
I agree, we need a good close-up from the shoulderboard.

Hello all and thank you for your work.

Adolf Paul Max Neumann was born 10th Marz 1892 Taplacken,krs,Wehlau
I knew this from reading the baptisms of Petersdorf evang., church about 2004.

I did request a search form the Deutsche Dienstelle in Sept 2006 and they did reply in Aug 2007,

Aus einer beim Krankenbuchlager Berlin vorliegenden Unterlage, ber Prueussischen Verlustliste 1237, Ausgang 2093 vom 09 September 1918, Seite 26146 geht hervor:
Sanitats-Unteroffizier NEUMANN, Paul
10 Marz (ohne Geburtsjahr) Taplacken, Wehlau
gefallen (ohne Angabe zum Todestag und Todesort)
(I had my mother translate this for me back then)

Her family notes he was killed by "Fliegerbomber".

I have added the highest scan I can do of Paul's shoulder boards, it looks like "52" to my eyes?

Regards
Jan

Hi Jan,

yes - it is a "52" and a "burning round-grenade" for the 2. Ostpreußisches Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr. 52: http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/FAR_52
