Military Monday - Two Young Men Off to War - WWI?


This picture of two young men in uniform has no identification either for the subjects or the photographer.  I suspect it is WWI but I know nothing of uniforms so cannot be sure, however they are very young so could be cadets in a military school, etc.  They are certainly handsome - wish I knew more about them.

  1. Hi Teresa...I think you are right about them being cadets. If they were actual soliders, they would have some military pins and emblems on their jackets. They surely are handsome young men. Like you, I wonder who they were and what their story is. I often take photos like this and give them an identity and a story to tell...fun stuff. Thanks for sharing your wonderful treasures.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, they do have some type of emblem on their hat, but I could not see it, even when blowing up the picture -very frustrating!

  2. If anyone can shed some light on these handsome men, it will be someone here! We have a large group of experts in these kinds of things....I just love trying to play detective myself, and even many of my own family albums leave me questioning and trying to solve pieces to the puzzle! Great photo!

    1. Thanks, I hope someone will know something. I realized afterwards that they both have on white gloves, maybe they are some type of honor guard?
