One of the final images in the album, the creator, on far right in classic Bavarian attire, and friends are on the way to the Bad Kissingen Bahnhof at the conclusion of training at Manteuffel. Clearly, someone assembled the album with care, however, only the first third of the photos are captioned and some of the later images are out of time line sequence. The name and the fate of this medic is unknown.
