An old photo of the 5th Squadron UR 6. The Squadron commander was Rittmeister von Schmidt. A newspaper clipping with his obituary is attached to the photo. The troopers in the front row have Kar 71's.

Rittmeister von Schmidt wears the pre-1888 Überrock with angled buttons, and Epaulettes. Very nice.

Great photo but not the same Schmidt as the obituary.

The group photo shows Rittmeister (later Generalleutnant) Artur von Schmidt 1849-1918. The obituary is that of Generalmajor Franz von Schmidt 1842-1929. In 1886 Franz von Schmidt was a Major in Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 16.
