  From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia_(Eastern_Europe) "The nucleus of Galicia lies within the modern regions of western Ukraine: Lviv, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk near modern Ukrainian city of Halych."

Archduke Friedrich and Exzellen Freiherr von Kirkbach - Lauterbach (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• swanq said:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archduke_Friedrich,_Duke_of_Teschen should be this Archduke Friedrich, Supreme Commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I.

• swanq said:

  The von Kirchbach auf Lauterbach family seems to at least two candidates to be the right-hand officer: Johann -- www.oocities.org/veldes1/jkirchbach.html Karl -- www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/biog/kirchbach.htm Harry www.geocities.com/~Orion47/WEHRMACHT/HEER/Generalleutnant... was too young to be the man pictured here.

• swanq said:

  Karl, as pictured in commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GdK_Karl_Freiherr_von_Kir... looks slimmer than the guy here, but a heavy coat can bulk you up. www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/portraits/jkbach.jpg, which is apparently of Johann, looks more likely as a match.

• Arden said:

  swanq: I agree with your identification of Archduke Friedrich (man on left) as the photos seem to match. Von Kirkbach (Kirchbach) is more difficult, but it does seem like the Bain image portrays Johann and not Karl. We will include it in the record with "probably" until more information turns up.
