Transcription/Translation for the Grundbuchblätt (Military Personnel Record) and general military research for my Ancestor Franz Frisch

Posted In
Description

I have been doing my best to find and transcribe this Grundbuchblätt (Military Personnel Record) record for my ancestor František (Franz) Salesius Friš (Frisch). Thanks to the help of a couple of people, in particular a Czech genealogist, I've been working on Franz and the rest of the Frish family. For Franz, I have all kind of documents, including his Czech church records for his birth and marriage. Just recently, we found (with great effort) his military records (the ones that Family Search has on their site). He served in the Imperial and Royal 2nd Jäger Battalion from 1849-1857 (then 2 years reserve service). So far I have about 70% of this document transcribed and translated into English. But there are some parts I don't have worked out and the people helping couldn't get it either. I could use help finishing off that document. 

I also could use some help tracking down the history of the unit he was in during the time period he served. I would like to know if his unit served in combat (and if Franz could have participated) and where they were stationed during the peace afterwards. For instance, his wife came from Terezín. Was Franz's regiment stationed there and that is how they met? Unfortunately, I don't speak German (or Czech) so it's extremely hard for me to read the publications that are out there about the regiment.
