Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been on the site.
I have a friend who just got a K31 rifle with a tag under the buttplate. Unfortunately, we are having a hard time deciphering what the words/numbers mean despite having looked on several reference sites. I was hoping by posting pictures here some of you could help us out with the ID of the soldier, unit, address etc. Thanks a lot!
Here are some pictures:
Name:
Fusilier Ernst Schmidt, Fusilier Company I/84
Address
Flecken Hundwil, Canton Aargau

Could still be living. Try a Swiss telephone directory.
good luck with that. contacting the man on my troop tag was the coolest thing i've ever done.
Well, I found the address of a "Ernst Schmid" living in Flecken Hundwil:
Schmid Ernst (-Arnold) - local.ch
Could this be him? If so what does the Canton Aargau piece mean?
A Canton is similar to the State/Province.
