| Cavalry practicing with padded lances. From the helmets, it's no doubt 1917-18 but we don't know the location or the unit. This was probably either a demonstration or a competition, judging from the large audience. |
Horrido!

Cavalry at Play
Below is an iteresting picture on several levels: first, it's an action shot; second it's late war from the Stahlhelms; and it's cavalry. The unit is unknown but it's clear that some sort of a competition or demonstration was going on, judging from the large audience.
Pictures like this are priceless...the hunt continues.
Horrido!

According to a statement made in another forum, supposedly this was taken in the Meuse Argonne sometime in August 1917. Barring further information, I somewhat question this assertion.
