A Gaggle of German Machine Gunners?

[Kev in Deva]

One for Chris to view,

I obtained this one very recently, 5 uniformed gentlemen and doggie

relaxing at a table outdoors, enjoying a glass of wine and a beer or two,

on the table a box of cigars / ciggerettes, pens and ink, and what appears to be a map.

Closer inspection show the three gents on the right of the picture to have the M.G. Insignia

on the left arm, as well as all three wearing the E.K. ribbon.

The gentleman on the extreme left, when examined with a lupe,

the edge of the cloth backing of M.G. insignia can be made out,

on his left arm, he also sports the E.K. ribbon as well.

I am certain the man with the dog sports similar insignia and E.K. ribbon

but its obscured by the hunde.

The gentleman on the left has the number "42" or "47" on his eppulatte.

Only notation on the rear of the card.

Anybody wishing to hazzard a guess wether Prussian

or Associated German States Regiment?
