Picked up this German navy photo album yesterday.It is a traning school for the Navy.One photo that shows the campus reads Kasernenhof der II M.E.A.I was wondering what it stands for ?This is a drawing done by the Navy man.At the bottom it reads ( Lehrgang 2 MEA 2 komp.The book has about 50 pictures in it.The unique thing about is the handmade drawings that go with this title page.

The drawimg with the snake could be for a Sanitätsmaat (medical orderly). Although it doesn't match up correctly to the example in the period uniform book. It's also similar to a Bootsmannsmaat (boatswain mate). That one has a rope and not a snake and it's not so tightly wraped around the anchor. There could be a clue in the text. Hopefully some one can translate it for you.
