In November 1942 the bataillon was renamed in to Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 488 and was stationed in Northen Ukrain. The 'A' on the tag stands for the bloodtype of the soldier.
A Stammkompanie was a kompanie that trained the soldiers. Often the soldier of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience and/or were no longer fully usable at the front due to injuries. Of course this changed later in the war as there was a shortage of soldiers).
