Guest Rick Research Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I think I know which brother THIS was:[attachmentid=7144]just need to confirm he's the Dead One Who Got the PLM:[attachmentid=7145]because THREE brothers (two killed) and a cousin all wore THIS uniform.

Stogieman Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 What, no guesses on Rick's "twins"?? C'mon! (I am disqualified) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Ah, too obscure. Not as readily identifiable as Leffers very distinct "blond Vladimir Putin" face.Mine is ONE of the von B?low brothers from Brunswick Hussars Regiment 17-- i am inclined to think it is Walter, the Pour le Merite ace, from his nose and jawline. This is the teenaged puppy fat of not seen any war yet, 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
