I don't know my Hessian Royality
She is Honorary Chef of I R 117
not knowing the date of the photo
I have always wondered if she is Victoria Melita ( " V M " cypher )
of if she is Alice ( " A " cypher )

The Hessian I R 117 " V M " cypher
and the " A " cypher
the story that heard that there was a divorce with Victoria Melita
after that her cypher was removed and the new replacement was the " A "

In my opinion it shows Ernst Ludwig of Hesse and his 1st wife Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

Amazing photo Steve, thanks for sharing! Is this a KAB? Large sized photo on a card board?
