Hello Sergey, Great photos. Thanks for posting them here, Bryan

Can't see the medals clear enough to ID them but as Chris said before a fantastic photo!!!!!!! Bryan

Got these from a family member who was in the Hungarian Army in the late 1980s. Wondering if anyone had seen these and know how they were awarded. Also would love to see ones from other years if anyone has some. Thanks, Bryan

Here's a couple more that I have been able to find as I clean out the closet. Not as interesting as the other two but still nice, Bryan

Always like this group photo from the 4th Komp. Gren.-Regt. 7. as it seems that every soldier has at a minimum the Iron Cross 2nd Class. This was mailed on 4-8-1915 and was wondering if someone has any info on what this regiment was doing around that time. Thank you, Bryan

A nice group photo dated 1950 on the reverse, Bryan

"We never miss a party"

Picked this one up in Budapest back in the early 1990s. Back is dated 1964.X but no other info, Bryan

Hi, Yes, these men are indeed First War casualties who are recovering from their wounds or sickness. The main clue is that the men are wearing the standard blue suit that was worn by those who were back in England to recover. Hope this has been some help, Bryan

These appear to be unused Iraqi Ministry of Defense ID cards for Army draftees. The triangle with the symbol is the mark of the IMOD, Bryan

Hi Bob, I posted a translation on the other thread for this one, Bryan
