The best way to grip itFunny how most are holding their helmet upside down.
GlennSteve,
are you able to please post a sharper version of this image? It would be helpful (for me) to date and identify some of those present. Presumably post the 1910 abolition of the lower sword sling loop.
Thanks

GlennThanks Steve,
as far as I can make out, the commanding officer stood next to the Grand Duchess is the then Oberst and later Generalleutnant Hans von Below. This would date the photo around 1912/13. Given that the adjutant in the front row wears three decorations on his medal bar, I would opine that is Oberleutnant Henning von Holstein, the regimental adjutant (killed as an Hauptmann in GR 89 (RIR 90) on 20 September 1914.

Glenn
