Dr. 25 Esk. 3

[USN]

Good morning gentlemen,

Does anyone happen to have any period photos of the 25th dragoons in their collection they'd share? Especially of the 3rd squadron, I am hoping to find some more information/ documentation on that unit as I can't seem to find much in the wild.

Thank you,
USN

I know there are a few in the background of this photo. I will have to look later to see if I have any others.

It is in a frame

You can download the wartime regimental history from the Württembergischen Landesbibliothek.

Here is a little closer view of the one I posted before, focusing on the DR25 Soldaten.

Here is my photo
I will see if I can remove it from the frame
and do a scan of it
I think that it is a good photo

Great photos! I'm trying to track down an imperial era photo of my iron cross owner, he was with the unit from 1906-1918 if I remember right.

Your best bet would be to check and see what regiment history books
might be out there for sale

So far I've only found one which I did end up purchasing, the man I'm looking for is actually credited with helping write it but I didn't see any photos.
