    Richard Arthur Norton and swanq: Thank you for the information and picutres in the biography which confirm that this is Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin. We will add a fuller form of this name and more information to the description when we update.

    A postcard on sale on eBay, has this photo. The postcard was associated with the German Red Cross. See www.ebay.com/itm/Graf-von-Zeppelin-Portrait-Red-Cross-Pos... which has description, "Picture postcard featuring Graf von Zeppelin -- army officer (retiring at as Generalleutnant, or Major General), Civil War fighter (he volunteered in the American Civil War on the Union side), explorer (took part in an expedition to the source of the Mississippi -- this last I didn't know, saw it on Wikipedia), and, of course, invented the rigid airship that bears his name, the 'Zeppelin'. This is a German Red Cross donation card."

    Just a hint of the zeppelin. It's refreshing to see the curiousity of the several viewers 'frozen' :)

    This must be the future George V. If it was really shot in 1910, it must be early in the year, as his father died and he became king-emperor in May. It's possible that this was shot after George V ascended the throne, in which case the PoW would be the young man in the checkered cap, the future Edward VIII, who was but 16 in 1910.
