Steven Broomfield Posted 24 June , 2014 Share Posted 24 June , 2014 No. I'd suspect he's german - no british Hussar regiment wore the death's head. It was the motto (badge) of the 17th Lancers, but not on a busby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Broomfield Posted 24 June , 2014 Share Posted 24 June , 2014 Is it Little Willie (Wilhelm's heir)? He appears to be wearing at least one British Order on his uniform, and it looks a familiar face and stance. he was Colonel in Chief of the 11th Hussars in 1914 and I've seen a few pictures of him. The uniform is, I suspect, something like one of the Lieb Husaren regiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
