    1. Some years ago I tried a similar seat on a smaller Austro-Hungarian WWI gun - it was very comfortable I try the find the photo.
    2. Thanks Guys! An older one: Leutnant Johann Szvetits, Pionierbatallion No. 1. 1878 with reverse Kriegsmedaille.
    3. Some 30,5 photos from Fortepan.hu ' alt='' class='ipsImage' > ' alt='' class='ipsImage' >
    4. Unknown Feldwebel with Silberne Tapferkeitsmedaille 1. and 2. Klasse, Karl Truppenkreutz and Militärdienstzeichen 3. Klasse für Mannschaft.
    5. Some Werndl model for enlisted. It was regular for the second line units.
    6. One of my favourite: Artilleryman with a 7 cm Gebirgskanone M 1899 „Ortler-Geschütz“. The inscription on the backstage means "against alcohol". The publisher of the poster is the General Welfare Society Anti-Alcohol Section
    7. The guy in the Post #3 folded out his shirts collar to the tunics collar. The mounted artillery had carabine (karabély). Short gun, the gun sling fixed to the side of the stock. Carried across the back, and fixed it to the belt with a special sling. The unmounted artillery had kurtály. It is totally the same as the carabine, except that the gun sling fixed on the lower edge of the stock. Carried on the shoulder on the same way as the longer infantry rifle. I hope I was understandable...
    8. Private of the k.u. k. Luftfahrtruppe with Mobilisierungskreuz 1912/13
    9. The new uniform-elements of the Hungarian Operational Police (Készenléti Rendőrség): wine-red brassard and side cap with blue piping.
    10. Unknown mountain unit - see the number "25" the right-side soldier's collar and the badge on his upper arm.
    11. Thanks, maybe I try it - and his AH service records too - it would be a good story It is fairly interesting that he served the 46. IR - it was a Hungarian majority regiment (79%) from Szeged. Probably he was in administrative position - his hand-writing is very clean and accurate.
    12. Iver: Great infos thank You! Whether how long he served in the CS army? It seems he was career NCO before the WWI. Otherwise the CS army recognized the AH army service years and ranks?
    13. A photo from the early twenties: 23d Infantry Regiment "Happy Hungarian guys 1928" - Unknown cavalry unit, note the equipment in the background Infantryman 1924 Trooper Kabók Ferenc 8th Cavalry Regiment A fine color(ized) portrait: desátník (corporal). The IP means Instrukční Prapor (Training Battalion)
    14. Legionaries: desiatnik ašpirant (officer candidate? corporal) of the 10th Rifle Regiment "Jana Sladkého Koziny", Brno, with I. class rifle badge vojnik (private) of the 101th Artillery Regiment, Praha Soldiers of the above regiment Unknown infantry unit The buttons: the CS of twenenties, the crossed swords introduced around 1930
    15. Not at all! As far as I know they are service ribbons - according these the guy served in the Legion and/or the AH Army His medals: Czechoslovak War Cross 1914-1918 The Revolution Cross And at the end probably the ribbon of the Victory Medal
    16. Trooper D: As You Wish 1st Lt. Bartoš (Nadporučík) the band leader of the 1st Rifle Regiment "Jan Hus" 1921 II. 1., České Budějovice Trooper of the 9th Cavalry Regiment (Vysoké Mýto) between 1920 and 1930 Others coming soon tomorrow
    17. Group photo of British officers in the WWI. I would be happy for any information of the units and/or medals! I guess the firs fom left is Genaral Service Corps, and the second one is The Buckinghamshire Batallion, 3. South Wales Borderers? 4.?. 5. East Yorkshire Regiment? 6? http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-12395-0-78275000-1381127501.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-12395-0-94636900-1381127583.jpg
    18. Unknown Turkish Captain with TWM and a little more...
    19. The Polish eagle looks different. I have two theories: 1. Some kind of costume or marching band dress 2. The dress uniform of a militia unit
