    Honved chaplain

    I have bought about 700 press photos from 1st WW yesterday. They were found in an old closet in lower bavaria.
    Here is one which I find very interesting:



    Close up of the chaplain:



    Press information on the back:



    Thought you would like that photo.

    Kind regards
    Robert

            Poignant photo. I think it is the first one that I have seen of an Austro-Hungarian military priest (if he indeed is a priest and not a lay person). I don't recall seeing singers at the graveside either. Thanks for showing it to us. What else did you get?

              Hi Chip,

              he is definitely a military priest; note the three cuff rings as worn by a chaplain in the rank of captain - a Feldkurat.

              Regards
              Glenn

                  Here are a few more from the 700.
                  Most of the photos show towns, places, churches and live in the field.
                  And almost all are from K.u.K. troops, not much germans amongst them.

                  I picked out 3 other ones which are good quality:

                  As I am mainly interested in WW 2 portraits, these 1st WW press photos will make a good deal at german Ebay. I sell them each by each or in small groups.

                  Jeff - if You want the chaplain photo, send me a mail.

                  Kind regards
                  Robert
