Thanks LoLo
I had about figured out that Balgach was a town and Jean Zwygart was the person. The marks under his name are something I haven't figured out and I hadn't figured on what the Eichholtz with the number after it meant until you made it clear that it was the street.
I used the link you gave me. Seems there is a person with that name..same town, different address.

Great detective work again
Fusilier makes sense. Unit III maybe good too. But company 79? Maybe a training cycle number?
Terrible?
You read this a heck of a lot better than me. Thanks.
Well, this kitchen chief might be him or it's a relative like a son or so.

I'ts in the German speaking area and Jean is a typical French name so I'm pretty sure that this guy knows more.
I think that 1078 should read as 10/B as there are not that many houses in that street
3rd fusileers company of the 79th batallion Landwehr (reserve troops), 7th division of the 3rd army corps based in St. Gallen.
That's a nice reply you got there LoLo, as you can see the youngsters have less problems writing English as the seniors have.
