The √-Schütze H a g e n b u c h , year l900, has been called for weapons-4. Since this year was not immediately used for the front, the men were used in such a way that they could work advantageously for the weapons because of their vocational training. On this way the shooter Hagenbruch came to the 4-W-V- Hauptamt, Amt W - 5, and after a short training was commanded as the first forstman on the troop training ground sea camp near Riga. Here he has to set up the forest facilities for about 40 ooo ha of forest area. This work is of great importance and needs an experienced expert, because the interests of the practicing force have to be reconciled with those of an orderly forestry.
