Guest Posted 14 January , 2019 Share Posted 14 January , 2019 The guy on the right is my great grandfather born in 1896 in the area that used to be Poland. I'd like to know who he fought for. he turned 18 in 1914 so he could have fought for Germany or the USSR whoever occupied the land he was in. But then the polish soviet war came after the great war so he may have fought in that. He lost a finger but he died in Western Massachusetts in 1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddell Posted 14 January , 2019 Share Posted 14 January , 2019 I believe that they may be Polish. There is a soldier of the Polish Legion of the Austro-Hungarian army (on the right) shown here with similar collar insignia- http://georgy-konstantinovich-zhukov.tumblr.com/post/49855781811/foreign-raised-units-of-the-austro-hungarian-army Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
