Deruelle Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The man in the center is an officer ( you can clearly see the buckle for officer). I can't see the rank, so may be one young lieutnant or a first lieutnant. Nice photo indeed Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sef1962 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I think maybe for ability for fencing after looking at picture again not sure about silver wound badge thanks Mark Edited March 26, 2009 by sef1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yes, but the specialty arm insignia were NOT worn by officers... and yet there he is, wearing an officer's belt buckle. Weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sef1962 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 The soldier next to him is a vize-feldwebel first of I was mixing up these chevrons with fencing ones now I realize the fencing ones are not as wide if the wound badge is silver are officers version the cut out type ?
