German Hussars & captured cannon (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Acoustic Bubble said:
    "Captured canon" suggests a much more precise date (year) than 1910-1915...
  • Wystan said:
    LOC: You have misspelled "cannon." Bain's caption has it right.
  • frank henry lisborg said:
    in what conflict would that be?? certainly doesn't look like WW1.
  • Wystan said:
    Uncle, are you saying that WWI doesn't look like itself? This is 1914 -- war's outbreak.
  • jdshephe46 said:
    Agree with Wystan. This is early WWI, and -based upon the nature of the cannon (no recoil system is visible) - it's probably on the Eastern Front. Perhaps about the time of the battle of Tannenberg (26 - 30 Aug 1914). The uniforms don't show much dirt or wear.

    Medal Index Card shows he arrived in France on the 15th December 1914. He was a career soldier who is listed in the 1911 Census as serving with the 13th Hussars in Meerut, India aged 26.
  • Paul C A Nixon said:
    His number indicates he joined the Corps of Hussars in the second half of January 1909. See my blog post on Queen's and King's Regulations regarding numbering in the British Army: armyservicenumbers.blogspot.com/2009/03/queens-kings-regu...
