Kris, the first two photos are KuK (Austro-Hungarian) soldiers, the second lot are German.

Hi, I really like KuK postcards. I think that KuK items are very underated & you can get some very nice items for little money when compared to German, Cheers, Richard.

Re: Austro Deutsch pix & postcards
Kris, a good website for information about the Austro-Hungarian Army is http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/ as DUJAILAH has mentioned, the KuK has always been played down, in favour of its partner in the Central powers, Imperial Germany, and as such, information until late has been sparce for the collector and historian alike. It would be super if you can obtain as many items from your father-in-law as you can, and show them here on this forum !
Hope this helps, Steve...... p.s. nice items, Richard.

Re: Austro Deutsch pix & postcards
Thank you Dujailah I thought it might be something like that.
I've seen quite a few of the first medal that you posted at the in laws house also similar shaped ones with the kaisers portrait and also similar ribbon shape in a lot of different colours which i think are all Austrian of the same period.(any links to a medal list so i could i.d them?)
