Thanks Glenn for these additional information.

Our young Ulanen lieutenant in the 1870ies:

Am I confused, or are those some very non-German looking epaulettes he's wearing in the first photo? I don't think I've ever seen a German officer wearing epaulettes that have the bullion wire crescents instead of the metal crescents. :unsure:

[Glenn J]

Mike,

they were the traditional pattern of epaulettes worn by the two Hessian Dragoon Regiments Numbers 23 and 24 with the "straps" of silver construction and an embossed half moon. The half moons were similar to the pattern worn by military officials.

All right! Thanks, Glenn. I'd never seen those before, it almost looked like he was wearing epaulettes from some other army!!!! :speechless1:

Gentlemen, does anyone know if Leo von Bernuth received the PKO2 or even the ROA2 to his retirement? Thanks! ... Update: Thanks, Dave just answered this.
