Dear Frinds
one photo showing a large group of Officers in France, for military manoeuvres, year 1900.
Second from left, first row seated, one Italian General with wonderful 1874 helmet with parade plume.

Thanks

Thank you Gianluca. Fifteen years later, many of these would be fighting against each other.
Taken in Chartres, about 50 miles WSW of Paris, home to the most beautiful gothic cathedral (in my opinion).

Hi,

the Prussian general is Generalmajor Hans von Arnim, the inspector of Jäger and Schutzen.
