My favourite museum! Thanks for posting the photos... Cheers Chris

I just saw this one- http://www.rubylane.com/item/802481-583/Very-WW1-Imperial-German-Army" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Does that look genuine? I'm not interested myself, just curious... Cheers Chris

Thanks very much guys! The idea of training foreign officers does seem most likely doesn't it? Here's a couple more thoughts I had which may or may not be correct... The two cockades on the caps would seem to date the photo post 1897 though which would rule out the Chinese visitors of 1889-90...

...and some more...

Hello folks, I recently recieved an email asking for help identifying some photographs. These ones have got me stumped! They look like Asians in German uniform with German troops. A training exchange possibly? Any help from readers would be appreciated... Cheers Chris

Glad to hear he is still in touch and alive! I think we all miss him here... please pass my greetings on to him. Cheers Chris

Great photos! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Chris

Very nice tunic! Thanks for sharing the pics... Looking forward to seeing more on your website too! Here's a photo which I think shows members of the Force Publique with one of the captured Koenigsberg guns- Cheers Chris

Great thanks! In addition to yesterday, the blue is described as Dunkel Blau and the Sudwester hatband would also have been dark blue... I really need to write a page on colonial officials soon! Cheers Chris

Sorry for my late addition here.... great, great photo! And nice work Karsten on the medals! I think the Sanitaets Unteroffizier, I think had these colours- Blue Facing, Red Piping, Yellow Lace- Hope that helps a bit! Cheers Chris

That's great Glenn, thanks as always for that info! So, who are the two who accompanied Waldersee in China? Cheers Chris

Hi Ron, I can't help much but I did like that Japanese collector's link. On this page- http://masas-attic.jugem.jp/?cid=16&PHPSESSID=983e36b794d6f34d395c320d03b923ef" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; He has more Reichsadler Wappen. A possible Schutztruppe helm, this RG one, another...

Thanks for the clarification. Cheers Chris

Wow! That colourisation is great. Who did it? Have they done others? Cheers Chris

Thank you very much for those details. So the total of 123 includes those that arrived after the Niedermayer expedition... does it confirm that first four on your list (Hibján Géza, Erdélyi Ferenc, Fargó Árpád and Kósz István) crossed the Afghan border with Niedermayer and Co? Cheers Chris

Amazing collection!!!! Thanks for sharing, Cheers Chris

Hi Markgrav, That's great information, thank you. Do you have the names of the six who wrote their memoirs and is their any biographical or other interesting information in them? The figure of 123 AH POWs getting to Afghanistan is surprisingly high. Other sources quote that only 50 or so of the...
