Henry 24th Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Magnificent grouping! I take it that the badges pictured are in fact the ones in the photograph? Do you have any other information on Wilhelm Huber? Which regt., etc...Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 What an awesome grouping! According to this book, did he survive the war? Those photos are stellar! This is the first time I have seen two equestrian badges on a tunic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonC Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 A great but sad story. I am glad you found out more about your uncle's fate. A lot of people don't realize that the German Army went to war in 1939 with roughly twice the number of horses that they did in 1914.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirevr13 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Horse badges are one of my recent side collections. Like Paul, I have never seen a pic with two different Horse badges of one dude. Then to find out he is a relative........I love it. Now for my fatherly advice, put these photos in an archival quality scrap book. What I would do is take the photos you want to display to a real photo shop and have them scanned and copies made. That way you can store the originals in the best way possible. You may have other relatives that want copies and will split the costs. Last but not least never let them go and be sure your family knows what they are. When I meet people that had relatives in one of the wars(not collectors like us) I tell them it may not mean much to you but 50 or 100 years from now it may mean a lot to someone.
