This shot of His Majesty struck me as amusing. A visit to Jüterbog in 1892 accompanied by King Umberto I of Italy in the uniform of Husaren-Regiment Nr. 13 and General der Kavallerie Alfred Graf Waldersee in the uniform of Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 13.
I see that Graf von Waldersee is wearing his epaulettes
I do not have his epaulettes , but I do have his shoulder straps
for U R 13 GFM and adjutant to the Kaiser

wonderful straps but still as a Generaloberst der Kavallerie (mit dem Range eines Generalfeldmarschalls). Promoted as such on 12 September 1895. He became a “real” Generalfeldmarschall on 6 May 1900.
