Help reading old German War Record from WW1 Bayern

Question

Greetings,

I may be born in Germany and can read it, but this record trumps me.

The Transcription of Ancestry already gives me Informations. Still, It does not give me a Timeline of what he did in the War, or if there may be more records I should consider researching to understand more about his Military path. So could someone please help me with transcribing more of the document?

Kriegsranglisten und -stammrollen des Königreichs Bayern, 1. Weltkrieg 1914-1918 via @Ancestry

Thank you,

Sebastian 

P.s.: If there is a better way to Link to an Ancestry Source, please let me Know.

Hi Sebastian,

I cannot enlarge the document and read it. Could you please add the ancestry link (if you have from ancestry.de), then I can try to help you.

Hey,

If you meant the one I get when I'm on then it is this one https://www.ancestry.de/imageviewer/collections/1631/images/31433_bh10771-00059?pId=10027077

Hope this one works.

Thank you very much,

This helps a lot now I have at least a Name for the Stepfather. At least I assume he is his Stepfather or Adoptive dad of him, based on his death certificate.
