59th landwehr brigade

Still working this one down. It was mailed to someone in Wurttemberg in May of 1915, while the Sütterlin is pretty much intact. This guy's penmanship was not the best. I did not know where the organization was at that time, and I'm sure Glenn could tell me ina half a second. But I have to work on it. The question in picture number three is, what exactly is this?

I think he is German with a tropical helmet.

I think you're right Joe. If the proportions of the helmet appear a bit off, it is because the geezer is modeling it backwards.

Chas.

the geezer is modeling it backwards.

That looks right, it seemed to large for a Kabalak, I keep forgetting that there is always at least one doofus in a group that will do some thing silly.
