.... it looks like is was for these guys when this photo was taken
No identification on the back of the photo, but it looks like members of various Garde and possibly other cavalry regiments. Stating the obvious, colour would have made it much easier to identify the regiments, but guesses are:
1. At least two GdC wearing the blue waffenrock - bartender with helmet and sword on the barrel and possibly man standing at back on left.
2. Garde Ulan Regt 1 and/or 3 - looks like they all have white litzen
3. Garde Dragoon Regt 1 and 2 - looks like both white (GDR2) and yellow litzen (GDR1). Can’t see cyphers on shoulder straps but think that is down to the quality of the photo
4. Hussars - difficult to say with any certainty but may be Lieb Garde Husaren Regt, based on the dark colour of Attila and braiding (possibly yellow braiding, not white).
5. Kurrasier Regt unknown. Can’t see any litzen, so if none, not GdC or Garde Kurrasier
It’s now nearly beer o’clock here, so I hope you enjoy the photo and the weekend!
