    Hi,

    Question one, I think the infantryman is the same guy?

    Question two, any guesses what the cavalry guy is wearing?

    Thanks

    Chris

    Hello Chris:

    It looks to me to probably be a Prussian long service medal (either 9 or 12 years). There is no way to be 100% certain due to the quality of the photo, but this is most likely.

    Nice photos!

    Best regards,

    A uniform? :cheeky:

    The cavalry guy has a Dienstauszeichnung 1.Klasse for 15 years' service. His brother has a 2.Klasse or 3.Klasse.

    SInce the infantry NCO is wearing what appear to be IR 85 shoulder straps, I would guess HR 15 or HR 16 for the hussar, assuming they both enlisted in local regiments.
