Title: Date - Military Pic
Post by: snapshotrest on Monday 30 January 12 23:08 GMT (UK)

Do the uniforms in this photo look like WWI?
I know the first gentleman in the photo is a relative of mine, my grandfathers brother, but don't know his name.

Any input on date, uniform, country it might be would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about uniforms but have seen a photo of Polish soldiers circa WWI with similar collars.

I've posted a link on the armed forces board,someone there will know for sure.
