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 -
Austria-Hungary Austria-Hungary KuK Artillery WWI
Markgraf replied to IrishGunner's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
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... -

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. -

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? -
