      Trooper_D: Thanks, I heard about Nolan, but I didn't know that he served in the Austrian Army! It's very interesting! Besides Guyon a British Yeomanry(?) captain served briefly in the Hungarian Army in 1849, named William Francis Brown (but previously he didn't served in the Austrian Army).

      Did you heard about Richard Guyon?

      According the marriage record Crewe-Preston was retired in 1846. His religion is anglican (by the record: English Church).

      A Royal Corps of Signals Field Service Cap I found a handwritten eight-digit number in the liner - it is possible that it's the owner's service number?

      You're welcome.

      According a contemporary Hungarian newspaper Graf Bellegarde lost his wealth due to the 1873 panic. After that he made big debts. Around 1885 the authorities want to investigate him in a peculation case, but he went to abroad and finally died in Cairo.

      So.... The unit: Royal Hungarian 64th (former 71st. ) Honvéd Heavy Field Artillery Regiment 1st Division Finance/Economy Office The address: Albertirsa I' cant read the full name (given name is Jucika, fondling form of Judit) and the "title" but surely an archaic form of Miss... The message Isonzo 1918.07.24 Still thinking of you...Feri (Fondling form of Ferenc)
    16. Markgraf
      Yes, dark brown tunic with madder red facings.

      According his buttons he's an artillery officer.

      Really, a well-decorated officer, but it wasn't rare during wartime... Otherwise he is a member of a mounted branch. The backside can be read "Pöstyén" - the Hungarian name of today Piešťany, Slovakia. As a spa town it was a recreation center during the WWI. Can you show a bigger size picture of his cap, please?

      So, the stars: On the left the regular rank stars for enlisted, on the right the embroidered stars for officers. Sometimes the one year volunteers had metal stars on his privately purchased uniforms (Zugsführer) The regular "bone" enlisted stars were vulnerable.
    20. Markgraf
      Oops...just Leutenant not Oberleutnant, excuse me. The surest evidence is the lack of the shoulder straps. Normally the the infantry officers didn't have shoulder straps. The second thing his rank stars - the stars for enlisted made from "bone" (celluloid) and had different form. Tomorrow I will show some photos about it!

      1st Lt. with I. & II. class Silver Bravery Medals and Karl Truppenkreutz. He recieved as Fähnrich or lower rank because these Bravery Medals were non-officer awards.

      Unknown AH infantry captain around 1890 (probably) with 4th class of Sacred Treasure. I'm nearly sure that the unit is the 12th Infantry Regiment. Anybody have an advice for the identification of the person?
    23. Markgraf
      The mountain infantry and artillery wore the same "bird" but with different collar colors. The guy with three pips is Četař ašpirant (officer candidate sergeant?).
    24. Markgraf
      I' don't know the correct English form - maybe paymaster or something....
    25. Markgraf
      Leuchtturm: Great! Thank you for the identification!
