Many thanks for answers.

Rositten was part of East Prussia before the Latvian war of independence. This Photo was taken at beginning 1920' during this war.

Can you explain me the word "Cornet" ? (first name, rank ?)

It is the military rank of a "Fähnrich" in the cavalry - English term would be Ensign
