" Mohács 1921 "
The second car in Admiral Miklós Horthy's motorcade during his visit to the newly reclaimed city of Mohács. Seated in the rear on the left is the Admiral's aide-de-camp, Captain László Magasházy. The distinctive feathered caps worn by the officers identify them as members of the National Army (Nemzeti Hadsereg), the force established in Szeged in 1919 that would soon evolve into the Royal Hungarian Army.
This photograph belongs to a series documenting the National Army's entry into Mohács and Admiral Horthy's visit to the city. The collection forms part of the photo album of Captain Lajos Schmitt, a resident of Mohács and a member of the National Army, who later served as a Member of the Hungarian Parliament during the mid-1930s.
Together, these photographs provide a valuable first-hand record of a pivotal period in Hungary's post-First World War history, preserving both the official ceremonies and the people who took part in them.
