Mimi..your military history lessons didn,t take! Yes,the Russians occupied
Czernowitz,but then they were thrown out again,and the Emperor Karl came for
a visit. The picture is "Honved" cavalry...ie Hungarian Hussars. And another
general point..because of the Western education most of us had,the belief is
that the biggest battles of WW1 were in France,esp. The Battle of the Somme.
In reality,the fighting around the Carpathians was far bloodier and involved
far more troops,with huge losses..including among the 41st and 15th
Infantry..both with large nos of Jewish soldiers. Cornel

Very picturesque! But I think that the Russians occupied Czernowitz a
number of times
and the "Kaiserliche Husaren" did not defend "das Kaiserreich"
successfully.
