E Williams Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I acquired this photo card last night off Ebay. Can someone enlighten me as to what regiment this fellow is in? Thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Is it 2. Uhlanen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Williams Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Is it 2. Uhlanen? That's what I was thinking. Maybe I just wanted to have someone else to confirm what I was thinking. Maybe when I get the card there will be some writing on the back. Didn't show the back on eBay. Thanks But...wouldn't there have been a Bavarian Crown on the boards also? There are many 2nd Uhlan regiments. Edited January 22, 2014 by E Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Williams Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Couldn't this young lad be part of the 2nd Chevauleger Regiment? Edited January 22, 2014 by E Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ed, You have answered your own question: 2. Chevaulegers-Regiment Taxis. The Ulanen wore a pear shaped shoulder strap and both leading edges of the tunic front were piped in red. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Williams Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks Glenn. I came across those pear shape boards in my research and dismissed them, then I came across a website of a re-enacting unit for the 2nd CH, which now I'll go back and re-read all the History of the regiment they posted. Another research triumph............. Thanks again for confirming my question. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
