    You all know the german traditions of students wearing uniforms. A collectible subject of its own.

    Got some photos yesterday, which I find interesting.

    These are students of the university at T?bingen. Photo was made 19. February 1914

    Another photo shows them on horsebacks, dated 7. july 1914

    You can of course presume that all these young academics went straight on to the battlefields of WW 1, and so one of them pictured above, was killed

    in the "war to end all wars".

    NOT like American college fraternities!

    But no wonder they were always fighting duels... dressed up like circus lion tamers!

    And we can tell that the unfortunate Lt. d.R. Frick was Catholic since his prayer card is printed with the indulgence ("get out of Purgatory") score for saying the Our Father and Hail Mary prayers in his memory.
