Which hussar regiment?

[gino1]

I came across this photo on Facebook; it is said to be from the Bruges region (Belgium) or the Damse Vaart (lock) area in the Netherlands. Does anyone recognize the people in this photo? Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't know/recognize any people, only their Busby's, and that they are German. What I do know, it that is was taken at the Dodendraad, at the Damse vaart, so the picture was taken in the Netherlands, looking towards occupied Belgium.

I think it is HR17. There appears to be a totenkopf on the schirmmutze and the feldzeichen looks like Braunschweig yellow/blue

I think Bob is right for HR17 has been there..
I've got also a photo at the Dutch/ Belgium border with a HR17 on guard without a busby cover....

Photo from 1915 taken near the village of Ysendijke (Netherlands) on the border with Belgium (possibly near the village of Watervliet).
The person on horseback is clearly a member of HR17.
To the left of the horse stands a Dutch infantryman.
The post in the photo is a Dutch border marker
