Military pass for a Wachtmeister in the 17th Hussar Regiment

[cptbob]

I picked this up recently. A military pass for a Wachtmeister Reiher of the 17th HR. It offers a nice glimpse into this man's career.



List of his promotions and dates. His troop number is number 1 for ??? (if anyone can read that next word I would be grateful).



He was qualified with the Kar71, Kar88 and Revolver 79. Love that Stamp!
