Martin: Thank you for your reply. Do you live by tahat area of the Czech Republic? The information that I sent was found at the following website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/resources/czech/UnterhuttenEng.html I have some more info from that website: Between 1921 and 1937, 27 men from Unterhütte served as soldiers in the Czech army. At the time they were obligated to serve for two years. Men were mustered in at Ronsperg and there was a large recruiting staff stationed there. Eligibility was strictly overseen and in 1926 or 12 men who were examined only one was enlisted. Before the German troops marched into Czechoslovakia the state had called for mobilization but there were not many who answered the call to enlist. Instead most fled to Bavaria. After the Anschluss many Sudetens reported to voluntarily enlist in the German armed forces. During the Second World War 109 men enlisted among whom 36 became casualties: Erich Axmann (Lehrer) Nr. 40, Franz Baier Nr. 26, Franz Baier Nr. 57, Alois Fleischmann Nr. 52, Franz Gobernatz Nr. 21, Franz Hasl Nr. 57, Eduard Hell (teacher) Nr. 27, Anton Hogen Nr. 29, Franz Hogen Nr. 29, Johann Kirsch Nr. 45, Franz Kirsch Nr. 51, Georg Kirsch Nr. 38, Josef Kirsch Nr. 11, Rudolf Kirsch Nr. 44, Simon Kirsch Nr. 44, Rudolf Lindl (Lehrer) Nr. 6, Karl Lindl Nr. 17, Franz Markgraf Nr. 47, Rudolf Markgraf Nr. 47, Otto Markgraf Nr. 14, Ludwig Neudenker Nr. 36, Johann Paa Nr. 34, Josef Reiminger Nr. 56, Josef Reiminger Nr. 41, Erwin Reiminger Nr. 21, Martin Reiminger Nr. 53, Franz Vogl Nr. 42, Anton Wild Nr. 13, Ernst Wild Nr. 4, Franz Wild Nr. 32, Johann Wild Nr. 49, Rudolf Wild Nr. 43, Franz Wild (Lehrer) - Neumühle, Otto Wild Nr.- (Neumühle), Franz Wild Nr. 50, und Ernst Wedl Nr. 54.

Bill, The area what is written about is western Bohemia, the westernmost part of the Czech Republic near borderline with Germany (Bavaria). I live in north-eastern Moravia, the easternmost part of the Czech Republic near borderline with Slovakia.:-) Now I am sure that the numbers describes the address of the persons, for example "Franz Baier Nr. 26" means "Franz Baier from Unterhütten 26" I am not sure about the Czech name of Unterhutten but another places in the text I can locate. Muttersdorf - Mutenin http://maps.google.com/maps?q=49.5500,12.7500+(Mutenin) Schwarzach - Svarcava http://maps.google.com/maps?q=49.5000,12.6500+(Svarcava) Perhaps the Unterhutten could be a ghost town today as well as (Schwarzach - Svarcava).
