Very nice zinc Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 54 related tag in used, but good condition.
The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows normal signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who served in the Stammkompanie Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 54. This Bataillon was formed in August 1939 in Glogau and was part of Division 158. It trained and supplied soldiers (until December 1940) for Infanterie Regiment 54 which was part of the 18.Infanterie-Division.
The 'A' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
A Stammkompanie was a unit that trained the soldiers. (Often the soldiers of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience, but no longer were fully usable at the front due to injuries or had a lot of combat experience that was used to train others). Of course this changed later in the war as there was a shortage of (front)soldiers.
