This Soldbuch and militärpaß belonged to the same soldier. His last name is Wossner. As we look through his militärpaß, we see that he was born in 1896 and that he was a native of Württemberg. We can tell that he passed through the 3rd Recruit Depot with Infantry Regiment Nr 125 in October 1915. He was immediately reassigned to Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung Nr 10 near Stuttgart. Entries continue from his November reassignment through December 1916 with him attached to Flugpark 5 (a training depot and point of distribution of aviation personnel to front line squadrons.). We then see notations for Flieger-Abteilung (A) Nr 211 which is dated 21 November 1918 so he obviously survived the war. There are also unit stampings for FA 201 and 210 from the period of 1917-1918. In his Soldbuch we see entries for FA 202, 207, and210 along with his service in these units. A well traveled ground crewman by any means. It is unusual to be able to offer both the militärpaß and the Soldbuch together.

Being able to acquire a militärpaß WITH some additional information is always interesting. Learning more about the man is important to me, so I am pleased to share this little group with you. To begin, it is older than what we normally present to you. It is from the 2. Hannoversches Ulanen-Regiment Nr 14. This was the second of the two Ulanen-Regiments founded by Hanover. The regiment was founded in 1805. It was garrisoned at St. Avold-Mörchingen and assigned to the XVI. ArmeeKorps. The regiment saw extensive service with Wellington at the Peninsula and, ultimately, at Waterloo. The young man who served in the regiment was born in 1863, and served in the regiment from 1883 to 1885. His last name was “Suits.” A unit stamp for the regiment is in the militärpaß. As Germany was at peace, no major notations are in the booklet. We see further marks since the man was in the reserves until at least 1896. Due to his age during WW I (he would have been in his fifties at its start), it is unlikely that he served in a combat role. With the militärpaß is a document that was commonly issued when the man had fulfilled his two-year military obligation, stating that good service was performed. The document was signed by a regiment rittmeister. The final part of the group is a CdV of Herr Suits. We see him standing in a studio beside a table. He is wearing his ulanka and tschapka in their full parade configuration. The photograph has been hand-colored to show details of his uniform and headdress. The document has been folded several times, and measures 12″ x 8 1/8″ when fully unfolded. Both the document and CdV are slipped into the militärpaß. It is a very neat mini group from a famous cavalry regiment.
