Markgraf

Nice pictures! The third gentleman is probably the member of the Habsburg family. The last picture is a Royal Hungarian Army Lt. Col between 1929-1940.

According his buttons, he's a telegrapher of an artillery unit. A late corduroy tunic (probably privately tailored). A very-very good photo!

Thanks for the fast answer!

The ribbon seems the Bulgarian War Medal (WWI).

A military postman with his standard armament (Gasser revolver and pioneer sword). The collar color was orange.

Thanks Demir!

But the second badge seems sürveyan patlayıcı madde imha brövesi (EOD expert?) according your link.

Thanks Larry!

Thanks Glenn, it's new for me!

I can't find him in the wartime Schematismus volumes...

Good find, Markgraf!

On 3 September, 1916, the New York Times ran a story about him, entitled "Baron George Washington Fighting for Austria; Collateral Descendant of the First President of U.S., an Officer of the Austrian Lancers", which explains his descent. It is available, as a .pdf, here,

Interesting article, thanks! I will search him in the 1916 Schematismus.

BDU tunic of a sargento de primera (master sergeant) of the Armed Forces of Uruguay.

Somebody can tell me te meaning of the patches?

Thanks!

If I'm correct the rank is Lt. Colonel of the Jandarma (Gendarmerie).

Anybody can tell me the meaning of the patches?

Thanks in advance!

Most interesting, thanks for sharing!

Was there any information about Serbian regimental flag seen on the first photo? "Out of 51 made, 47 of them are preserved and one of them is in Paris" source: Serbian Military Museum website: http://www.muzej.mod.gov.rs/en/museum-activity/collections/collection-of-military-flags#.VGOOMPnF9VM

As I remember nothing, except a basic inscriptions (otherwise the weakest part of the exhibition are the inscriptions).

You should write to the HGM fore more info.

I wonder if the "cross bow" was for launching ropes in the mountains...

In fact that is an experimental hand grenade-throwing device.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all and for the tip!

Show him the railroad lamps I recently posted; it might help......(or not (lol))...
