IrishGunner Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Visiting a war-zone by the officers of a non-combatant nation was pretty common in the 19th and early 20th centuries. An army could learn about the new developments in warfare without having to pay the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hello Christer! Line infantry (or the Guards) by the look of the sabre pattern, and they brought at least one officer with them (the captain in the middle of the front row). Any idea which unit, or could it be a SNCO school "on tour"? Or could it be a German visit to Sweden even? It seems a bit unlikely to send a group of NCOs to another country at war, as far as I know, the Swedes participating on either side in WW1 did it as individuals (but then again, visiting and participating are two totally different activities). /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
