leofric Posted 1 January , 2012 Share Posted 1 January , 2012 I'm uploading another couple of pictures from our family archive in the hope that someone can help to identify the uniforms. This time our ancestor was a member of the Austro-Hungarian army. His name was Rudolph Wiesner and he came from Karlsbad, Bohemia - what is now the Czech Republic. We think these pictures were taken a couple of years apart. Can anyone identify the uniforms worn in either or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted 1 January , 2012 Share Posted 1 January , 2012 The trouble with k.u.k. uniforms, especially those of the more junior people is that they are so generic. However, I would hazard a guess at Feldjägerbataillon Nr. 6 or Infanterieregiment Freiherr von Sterneck Nr. 35. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leofric Posted 1 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 1 January , 2012 Glen, Thank you for this. Can I ask what leads you to this conclusion? I've added a third picture in case this may be of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted 2 January , 2012 Share Posted 2 January , 2012 Thank you for this. Can I ask what leads you to this conclusion? The infantry style uniform of an individual from that part of Bohemia which formed the recruiting district for FJB 5 and IR 35.
