Morar Andrei Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) What can I find about this photo? All I surely know is that the two gentlemen are from south-east Transylvania. And a bonus: soldiers returned home to their village, winter 1918. Location: Cuciulata, modern Brasov county. Edited July 9, 2018 by Morar Andrei

And as far as I remember by all hungarian troops, infantry of the regular common k.u.k. army included. Kindest Christian
Morar Andrei Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Thank you! I will ask her again for names soon.

The Common Army retained the yellow and black with the pike grey uniform. the Honved adopted slate grey braid. Farkas , The men wearing tellermutzen, are Austrian Republican Gendarms , the men with the mortar ,Hungarian Honved soldiers of about 1930
Farkas Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Hi Bayern tellermutzen…. different to a kepi(!) that I know... .. Just curious though .. why do think the guy on the left looks all dressed up compared to the rest?is he different or.. Just because he is prepared to brave the cold with coat off? and tony 1 hour ago, Bayern said: Christian , The hungarian knot over the trousers ,certainly was common to all Hungarian Infantry Regiments , but the Honved ones weared madder red braid and the Common Army ones ,yellow and black braid.

Farkas Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 apologies - I had a few too many last night tony
Bayern Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Farkas , Iam sorry , tellermutze is the peaked cap . teller means dish ,plate,
Farkas Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Hi gents this first one was sent as German feldpost. The stamp is ‘Orstkommandantur Halles’ : District command in Halles 6th March 1917 the front title says it shows a munitions column but also more interestingly notice the ‘lancers’ amongst them..... tony tony Edited August 3, 2018 by Farkas
Bayern Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Hello ,interesting enough , the lancers are in fact Hussars and in some number , thats was more current in the eastern front were cavalry was deployed at regimental level .
Farkas Posted August 4, 2018 Author Posted August 4, 2018 Hi Bayern I am surprised at the description of the card as a munition column - far more interesting than that. when I saw it first hand I was glad I got it. I don’t have another photo where the hussars are equipped with them. Would you agree Hungarian? I say that because no cap peak. Or is that not the case with this headwear ? 10 minutes ago, Bayern said: Hello ,interesting enough , the lancers are in fact Hussars and in some number , thats was more current in the eastern front were cavalry was deployed at regimental level . cheers tony ps /. You’re on early tonight... nice one!
GreyC Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) They are German, alright. They wore felt cap, here, as in your postcard with camouflage cover. See an example from my collection dated 1913 : Edited August 5, 2018 by GreyC
