French Soldiers Identification Book Translation Needed - Large Officers Group And Badges

[Torch03]

Recently picked up this French Soldiers Identification book. Excuse me for my ignorance but what is the proper terminology/what these books actually called?

I was hoping one of our French speaking members might be able to translate/tell me a little bit about this soldier.

Thanks,

Matt

I would guess "carte d'identité" or perhaps better is "livret d'iidentité" but our true France French speakers can probably confirm what was used.

If it is a service record it could also be "dossier de service".

Thanks Peter, here's the rest of the group, photographs, badges, buttons, ID bracelet/dogtags etc...

Vert nice personal set:!I would read the French text as following: 30 december 1915, hit by a gun bullet right side in his belly, which resulted in a penetrating wound with debris in his abdomen from parts of the shelter

I realised that poitrine is chest, not belly

Nice find. This booklet is a "Livret militaire".

Pardon me if I make a small correction, Michiel; you were close. "Hit by a rifle bullet on the right side of the chest, causing a non-penetrating wound; he was then proceeding to take the guns of his section out of their shelters".
This makes sense as the soldier belonged to an artillery regiment.

Joseph Baud, born in 1887 in Foucherans (Eastern France), was a Marechal-des-Logis (sergeant) at the 63rd Artillery Regiment. He served from the first day of the war (08/02/14) and survived it, but his medical record by the end of 1917 says he was suffering of anemia and physical/nervous exhaustion (they would then hardly talk of "depression"; nowadays he would be probably diagnosed with PTSD).
He fought against Germany, Turkey (Dardanelles, I suppose) and in "armee d'Orient" (Salonique, Balkans?).
