Dennis,

 

the soldier's name was "Otto Friedrich"

 

his address was: "Gemeindeweg 4" (street) in "GERA" (town)

 

Date of birth: January, 16th 1896

 

His last unit was Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 78. Before that he was a member of a Ersatzbataillon (Replacement Battalion).

 

I found your soldier in the 78th Infantry Regiment's casual list. He was a member of 10th Company. MIA at Reims on April, 16th 1917. His rank was Musketier.

These are some very nice items, thanks for sharing!

Hi Lars,

 

Thanks you. I wasn't expecting to identify him, its sobering. I am supposing that him being listed as Vermisst means that he was never found.

 

Thanks again my friend.

He may have been recovered later and interred at Noyers-Pont-Maugis, as there is a Musketier Otto Friedrich buried at Block A Grave 4631.
