19339101C1933. Tschechoslowakei. 1933-35. ca. 205 x 15 cm. ca. 80 S. Original-Leinen mit goldgeprägtem Deckeltitel. Einband leicht berieben Deckel etwas gebogen. Innen zahlreiche private ganzseitige Einträge und Illustrationen. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Das Album zur Dienstzeit eines Soldaten besteht aus deutschsprachigen Einträgen von Kameraden zum Zwecke der Erinnerung an die gemeinsame Dienstzeit und aus Einträgen des Albumeigners selbst. Diese Einträge sind teils tagebuchartig teils sind es eher Verse zur Selbsterbauung. Die Einträge sind datiert und stammen meist aus 1934-1935. Die Soldaten waren scheinbar in ihrem Wehrdienst und wurden geschult die Naivität der Einträge scheint keine Berührung mit irgendeinem Kampfeinsatz zu kennen. Genannt sind Orte wie Nitra Zilina und Malazky welche allesamt in der heutigen Slowakei liegen und damals der Tschechoslowakei in den Jahren zwischen 1918 und 1938 zugehörten. Die Einträge sind alle in deutscher Sprache verfasst oft auch eher etwas holprig. Es scheint sich um das Album eines Deutschböhmers und Sudetendeutschen zu handeln der im Rahmen seiner tschechoslowakischen Soldatenzeit an diese Orte versetzt wurde. In mehreren Einträgen werden auch die Sehnsucht nach der Heimat und das Deutschsein zum Ausdruck gebracht. Ein längerer Eintrag des Albumbesitzers etwa zur Mitte des Albums trägt den Titel "Ein Deutscher Spruch!". Der mehrstrophige Text lautet: "Wenn alles reist wenn alles bricht du Deutsches Herz versage nicht. Versage nicht du Deutsches Land vergiss nicht unsere Bruderhand. / Versage nicht du Deutsches Herz versage nicht in Leid u. Schmerz. Denn einmal kommt die Zeit wo mann uns Deutschen doch befreit. / Halte Deiner Heimat heiligerscholle Deutsch soll sie bleiben komme was wolle komme was wolle Freud oder Leid Deutsch soll sie bleiben in Ewigkeit!" Es sieht so aus als hätte dieser Soldat das Jahr 1938 und den Einmarsch der Wehrmacht am 1.10.1938 kaum erwarten können. Interessante historische Archivalie privater Hand aus der Tschechoslowakei vor 1938! unknown

The 2nd Engineer Battalion is an engineering battalion in the United States Army which can trace its lineage back to 1861. 2d Battalion of Engineers expanded reorganized and redesignated 1 July-1 August 1916 as the 2d Regiment of Engineers. 2d Regiment of Engineers expanded 21 May-20 June 1917 to form the 2d 4th and 5th Regiments of Engineers 4th and 5th Regiments of Engineers-hereafter separate lineages. 2d Regiment of Engineers redesignated 29 August 1917 as the 2d Engineers. Assigned in September 1917 to the 2d Division later redesignated as the 2nd Infantry Division United States. The Regiment participated in Mexican Expedition: Mexico 1916-1917 and World War I: Aisne; Aisne-Marne; St. Mihiel; Meuse-Argonne; Lorraine 1918; Ile de France 1918. General Lejeune wrote in the Introduction that "In the last battle of the war it the Regiment threw two foot-bridges across the Meuse in the face of withering machine guns and heavy artillery fire thereby enabling the advanced battalions of the Division to cross the river and seize the highest on the east bank. Battery Rathbone 1905-1948 was part of the harbor defenses of San Francisco. Battery Rathbone was a reinforced concrete Endicott Period 6 inch coastal gun battery on Fort Barry Marin County California. The battery was named in G.O. 194 27 Dec 1904 after Lt. Samuel B. Rathbone U.S. Artillery who died of wounds received in action at Queenstown Heights Canada in 1812. Battery construction started in 1904 and transferred to the Coast Artillery for use 8 Jun 1905. The east half of the Battery was renamed in G.O. 13 22 Mar 1922 for Brig. Gen. James F. McIndoe who died 6 Feb 1919. Battery deactivated in 1948. The following appeared on 28 October 1920 in The Columbus Ledger: A Columbus Boy's Distinguished Military Service. Hundreds of Columbus people recall him pleasantly-- plain Will Mitchell then now Colonel William A. Mitchell of the United States army. It was only natural that the young man's thoughts should turn toward a military career as his older brother Colonel Americus Mitchell was then an officer in the United States army. A local sponsor became greatly interested in him and was of substantial assistance in obtaining his appointment to the West Point Military Academy from the Fourth Georgia district. His army record subsequently was one of steady advancement. During the world War Colonel Mitchell organized the 20th Engineers a forestry regiment containing about 27000 men and shipped it to Europe going over himself with the last detachment of the regiment. This was perhaps the largest regiment ever organized. Shortly after he reached France Colonel Mitchell was placed in command of the 2nd Engineers this regiment constituting the Engineer regiment of the 2nd Division. He served with this regiment from Chateau Thierry to the armistice and later on became corps engineer of the 8th corps. Those familiar with world-war history of course know of the famous Second Division and his regiment constituted one of the most efficient parts of this great division. For his services he was awarded several medals by the French one of them the second highest honor given by the French government and the distinguished service medal by the United States. Colonel Mitchell then became an instructor at Fort Leavenworth. United States Army, Second Regiment of Engineers hardcover
