I Hate Moths Posted March 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2019 My Grandmother gave me this Royal Bavarian Army Discharge in 1978. I think it was for my Greatx3 Grandfather. The dates on it include 1811, 1833 and 1839. Probably date of birth, and beginning to end of his service. I was told that the boxed section to the left contains his physical description.
