Thank you. Do you know what is meant by "free man"?

Not really. The German word used (in modern spelling) is Befreiter, which also can mean a "liberated man", "a man set free". I note that all grooms on these two pages are called either Befreiter or Soldat (soldier), so Befreiter may also mean a man not being a soldier (any more).
From which parish is this church book? A sort of garrison church?

@Ulrich Neitzel This is what the film is called: Militärgemeinde Ulm, so sounds like you are correct.

@Ulrich Neitzel, could it be Gefreiter (Private)? There is a marriage entry in the index that I had translated and it says Gefreiter.

Hi Tina,
you are probably right. If I compare to the initial of the name "Gottfried" (first record left, line 4) and the word "Grafschaft" (second record left, line 6) they look the same, although I haven't seen this type of "G" before.
So I updated my original transcription/translation accordingly.
