Chris Boonzaier Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Hi, Question one, I think the infantryman is the same guy? Question two, any guesses what the cavalry guy is wearing? Thanks Chris
Schießplatzmeister Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 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,
Dave Danner Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Question two, any guesses what the cavalry guy is wearing? A uniform? 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.
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 I missed the Brother connection... you are right, they look very much like sibblings....
