History
World War I military book
This is a column heading in a military book, after "Kommandobehörde" and "Datum". Should be an easy phrase, but my brain doesn't seem to be working today - case of the Mondays I assume! With "personal" are they meaning the "personal" meaning or the "personnel" meaning (which I know would be a different word in the army)?

Additions to personnel/staffing notes
That's what it means, imo. But I don't know whether or not there are other expressions that are preferred in a military context.

: "Personnel/staffing notes" would be kept centrally and not in a Wehrpass (see Dr Timm's link). Your link is to a completely different context.

Additions to [the] personnel files
Since they use the plural '...notizEN', it probably refers to a group of individuals.

"These usually have a narrow column headed "Kommandobehörde, welche Zusätze einträgt" (unit or command that adds the entries) and a wider column headed "Zusätze zu den Personal-Notizen" to the right and onto the opposite page giving details of excercises, call-up, conduct, punishment, units and frequently also awards and engagements.”
