    Description

    This is the 3rd Class military train ticket stub (Militar-Fahrschein 3 Klasse) granted to a soldier that is dated August 16th, 1918.  The soldier (bio below) is going from Leipzig to Berlin if I am reading the progression right, likely due to his involvement with the APK.  It is interesting that the stub was not taken, I can only assume that the officer had progressed in rank so that the ticket taker probably did not bother checking.
    Measures about 9 x 7 inches.
    The soldiers name is Gafonisa? Frigner and was a part of the 45th Artillery Messtrupp (Testing Crew) of the 32nd division of the German Imperial Army.  He was inducted in to the Army on the 28th of March, 1914 and eventually became part of the Replacement Battalion for the Artillery Inspection Commission (APK) based out of Berlin, a military authority of the Prussian army of the "highest cabinet order".
    This is one part of a set of 7 documents found together so I am confident they all belong to this soldier.  While every document does not contain all of this information, I was able to piece together the information from each document to put together his abbreviated bio above.  The documents are all listed separately due to the complexity of the information but should probably be preserved together so message me if you are interested in them all before they are sold as I will consider offers on the entirety of the set if reasonable.
