Portrait Photo: Subject & Text Identification
Here is a postcard size photo portrait of a Heer officer wearing his EK1 (1914); EK2 (1939) Spange and KVK 1st Class w/Swords. His face is chiseled and scarred...perhaps fencing or battle scars?
The reverse of the photo card is blank, except for printed text in the middle dividing line which I think may be the printer's name and a number: LEONAR 442.
Can anyone perhaps identify this officer and decipher the cursive at the bottom, please? All feedback will be appreciated.
Regards,
John
PS: JoeW has provided this feedback (thanks!):
"Seems to me to be signed by a doctor, an Oberstabsartz + Chief ?. The first two lines are a dedication for something in his hospital time? Feldlaz ? Signed by a Dr."

I forget the other text:
"Für treuste Pflicherfüllung in meinem Lazaret" 26.8.1939/42
Dr. Staudt
Oberstabsarzt + Chefarzt"

1) "Fhr. Res. O. B. Nord - West" - Führer Reserve Oberbefehlshaber Nord - West
2) "C. V d / 331" - It looks like a document number (Aktenzeichen)

Thanks Gerdan 
About number 2:
The unit number is 531, not 331. Its mentioned a few more times in the Soldbuch.
I think it has to do with a post-war unit.
This guy was a student engineer before the war, and in the war he was a trained Pionier Leutnant (but commanded a Volksgrenadier radfahr zug in the Ardennes).

I got most of it:
Lieber Familie Müller! Am 3. bin ich gut in der kalten heimat eingetroffen und guck auch zünächst aller mit den besten Grüssen. Ich habe mich hier schon ganz gut eingelebt, beim Unterkünft habe ich allerdings nicht so gut gefunden …… ielage(??). Ich nehme an, dass ich zum Sommer wieder in der Heimat bin, wo … immer noch den besten ist. Ich werde euch dann viel erzahlen. Auf ein frohes u.(nd) gesundes Wiedersehen Eurer R. Hahn.>>
The card appears to be from "Central (or main) Immigration Office Posen". So I would guess there, or someplace close.
