Topic: Brokh. Heff. Bataillon No. 18?

I would like to see pictures if you have them although I think you need 10 or so posts to be able to post pictures, while I could try a really horrible translation I am sure you would sooner hear from Der Alte who can probably tell you a lot more about the item than I ever will.

Personally I would have expected something more along the lines of Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit.

I have never heard of Bienftzeit but as I recall zeit translates to time and I had initially thought it may be a misreading of Service which would have been Dienst but as my German is awful I will leave it to someone that knows more than the basic swear words.
