egbert Posted 12 February , 2012 Share Posted 12 February , 2012 Please help me identifying their rank, uniform specialities (like what are these sash about), etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 12 February , 2012 Share Posted 12 February , 2012 A very very light (powder) blue coat with red collars may be a Dragoner-Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asanewt Posted 12 February , 2012 Share Posted 12 February , 2012 Extreme right appears to be bearing a sword/scabbard so possibly attached via sash 'cos it doesn't seem to be worn under the great coat On second sight the others are armed similarly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 12 February , 2012 Share Posted 12 February , 2012 Someone else will be able to give more info on the sash but they appear to be fairly generic parade sashes, blue and white the same as some belts I have seen. The closest I could get would be Dragoner-Regt nr20 but in drawings they have a thin red band on the forearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 13 February , 2012 Author Share Posted 13 February , 2012 Thanks so far. The guys are definitely members of IR 49 , picture taken in front of barracks in Gnesen, province Posen. These are friends from my Grandfather. Any ranks identifiable? Officers or NCO's? Do I take its a parade uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
