Maximilian Graf von Schmettow served from 1858 untill 1871 in the Kürassier-Regiment Nr.7 and was the Commanding Officer of the Regiment during the Battle of Mars La Tour. The photographs must have have been made prior to his promotion to Major in 1866.
This photograph shows Maximilian Graf von Schmettow's helmet-pierced by two bullets-during the Battle of Mars-La-Tour without wounding the CO.
