Men of the Reserve Infantry Regiment Nr 233 (195th Infantry Division) and a trophy boar definitely worth photographing. The men are wearing their M1907/10 tunics and are armed with Kar 98 rifles. Another point worth noting is that all three men are holders of the Iron Cross Second Class.
R.I.R. 233 was originally attached to the 51st Reserve Division, but transferred to the 195th in August 1916. Whilst attached to the 51st, these men would have taken part in the Second Battle of Ypres, which involved the first large-scale use of poison gas of the War.
