" Öreg Katonák II "
Öreg Katonák,
Hungarian for "senior soldiers" was a term used for over aged
conscripts/volunteers that were serving in the Hungarian army. To fill
the ranks and for service at the home front these elderly soldiers
filled an important role, many of the soldiers had served in WW1 and had
previous military experience that came in a good time when the war
effort needed more people. (Text from a previous post, but also significant for this photograph)
