Hussar Regiment Nr. 8 : Kaiser Nikolaus II von Rußland

[Jeff R]

Lots of character in this studio portrait of two NCOs and their Einjährig-Freiwilliger friend (or brother?). All from Husaren-Regt. Kaiser Nikolaus II von Rußland (1.Westfälisches ) Nr.8. Look at the spanky new boots on the EF gent in the middle – the very definition of a “well-heeled” young man, in his eigentum best!

Great photo! My old stomping ground - Paderborn.

There is a rather nice little military museum at the former stables at one of the barracks the regiment occupied in the area at Schloß-Neuhaus. The old guard house is still in existence as is the officers' mess.

Regards

The soldier in the middle is a one year volunteer
The H R tray shows a shoulder strap for 1 Yr Vol of H R 8
The Russian cypher is in silver
one of the very few straps that had a silver cypher
