Re: K31 soldier tag
Welcome to the site. Those tags are interesting finds for sure. Here is the page that tells you about how to read it.

I'll attach an image of a tag in a K31 I own.
Yours looks to have belonged to a guy living on Paradiesstrasse (street) in Riehen Switzerland. Check out Google Earth.

Re: K31 soldier tag
My K31 has a tag. I was told it was issued to a cook in a bicycle regiment. The top line is his rank, name and year of birth, in this case 1929. The middle line is the unit he was in and the bottom line is his home address. Some people have made contact with the old soldier. Mine will be 87 this year if he is still around.
Regards
Peter.
