Austro-Hungarian officer showing his basic equipment, Galicia-Eastern front, 1915.

"We found his body there, there, and 100 meters away over there. Anyway, here's the bucket."

*I think the partial colorization of this image threw me off. It looks like someone cut out Neil Patrick Harris's head and slapped it on an Austro-Hungarian officer's body. Doogie Howser, Unterleutnant.

Definitely a photo you send to the gal back home you want to play hide ze schnitzel mit.

@soldierporn this seems to fit pretty on the nose with your username.

Two German army NCOs tooled up and ready to go, probably on a trench raid against the French or English, western front, c.1916. Both wear the M.1916 Stalhelm (steel helmet) and a rubberised cloth gas mask known as a Gummimaske. The figure on the left has the ribbon for his Iron Cross 2nd Class showing above his field glasses and carries a Luger P08 pistol and an S.98/05 mit Säge (with saw) bayonet. His comrade on the right carries a Druckknopf flare gun
