1) What means "Fortress Engineer Staff I" and "Fortress Engineer Cmdr XV"? Are these posts linked with specified festungs?

2) Is any data available concerning his father? Surname is definitely Polish, so I wonder whether his father could be an official (officer?) in Austro-Hungarian service...

Regards & thanks

Fortress Engineer Commander = Festungspionier-Kommandeur : HQ for fortress units in a Wehrkreis

Fortress Engineer Staff = Festungspionier-Stab : controlled 2 sectors groups (Abschnittsgruppe).

so duties refer to an area not a specific fortress.
