Can someone translate this word FELDZUG for me.
Thanks

Military term, I think it means, campaign. Anyone else?

Yes! According to:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

the translation is, Campaign!

If translated literally into english it would mean " Field Train". Anyway a good use of the word in military terms.

Thanks guys particuarly the translation web site info.

Here is a reply I received from a fellow Luger collector from Lower Saxony Germany.



Nope. "Feldzug" just means campaign, or in a certain context, "war". This word does not have a second meaning.

A "field train" would be a "Feldbahn".

so, this is an inscription commemorating the campaign (war) 1914/15.

Dow Cross,

Thanks for putting me back on the right track. All the best.

Dow,

Just wanted to add that yes I totally agree Feldzug means campaign in "German". I was just making a point when translating "literally" into another language the true meaning can be totaly misunderstood or lost. For example, the German word Elche, you would think it means Elk. But it means Moose. So to a German our North American Moose is an Elk. Sorry for any confusion.
