This is the oldest picture I have of a
Ludwig Schütz. He
is either the father of Ludwig Hans, or his grandfather, my great
great grandfather.
This is an enlargement of
the insignias on the collar of the above picture. Does anyone
have any ideas? Is it Army? Fire Dept.? About what year is the
Uniform? E-mail me with some ideas.
