| They all wear a Dragoner (cavalry) uniform, actually a Dragoner Helm can be seen in front of the soldiers. The only Dragoner unit that I know recruited Romanians was the Dragoner-Regiment „Erzherzog Albrecht“ Nr. 9 (50% Romanians). Any info or stamps on the back of the photo? What was the name, place and year of birth of your great-grandfather? Maybe I can find his name if he was wounded. http://postimg.org/image/j3cdoxl6p/ |

| Thank you for all the information. Very interesting. The name of my great grand father was Giosan Alecsa (sometimes spelled Alexie or Alexa). I don't know if he was wounded, I know he was a prisoner in the Tzarist Empire. If you can help with any info about him, or any clues to go further with my genealogic researches, thank you very much. Have a nice evening! |

| I forgot the year of birth: 1886 in Ciocanesti, Bucovina (actualul judet Suceava). There is nothing written on the back of the photo. Thanks very much! |

| I searched with Giosan, but I didn't find any Giosan Alecsa, just three wounded as shown below: http://postimage.org/ http://postimage.org/ I also searched with his birth place Ciocănești (http://www.austriahungary.info/en/gazetteer1900/bukowina/kimpolung_-_kimpolung_-_campulung) but although a few Romanian names appear in the list, Giosan Alecsa is not there. It is not uncommon that some names were missed in the http://kramerius.nkp.cz/kramerius/PShowPeriodical.do?id=23834&it= so I guess his name does not appear. |

I have no idea where you could search, I heard a request costing 35 euro can be placed with the Vienna Military Archives (http://oesta.gv.at/site/5001/default.aspx) but I don't know how it works nor if you have any chance to find any info.  Maybe other forum members have better ideas. |
