Congratulations Peter. You must have used your charm to let him agree to let go the nice marking helmet
That's great thanks Sandy.I think I was able to decipher most of the text on the note. I have marked the words I am unsure about, but I'm pretty sure about the others.

PS: Landwehr may well be correct. I took a closer look and found evidence that enlisted men of the Train did not wear Landwehr crosses on their helmets. Only train officers did that.

I would say the name inside the helmet is the same as the name on the note R. Schüler = Robert SchülerThat's great thanks Sandy.
Were you able to make out the name on the helmet at all?
Looking at it now I think it could be R. Schuller?
Cheers.
Peter
