I've been focussing on photographs lately and thought I'd post these two CDVs of a couple of members of the Schutztruppe wearing their corduroy uniforms (and some nice medals as well )

cheers

Ulsterman,

Great photo of South West Africa Schutztruppe NCO .If it is an original photo you could magnify the SWA commemorative medal he is wearing so we can identify the battle bars
