M. 1938. 15. 1. 1945. I would take it that "BAT 5. V. M." was his Unit? Now, when reading the following: 1938. 15. 1. 1945, does the 1938 date, refer to the Unit? and the 15. 1. 1945 date of death?? Kevin in Deva.

BAT 5, V. M. 1938. 15. 1. 1945

My guesses are:

BAT 5, V.M. = Batalion 5 Vinatori de Munte = 5th Batallion, Mountain Troops

1938 = contingent (recruiting class he was part of)

15.1.1945 - KIA date
