I have a photo from 1914 of him posing.
Short story. I know he's fought in The Great War. He was Polish guy named Franciszek Szymborowski. He fought for Kaiser. Lived in Pomorze which was under Prussian influence due to Poland Partitions.
Is this possible to somehow identify more information about him? I think his uniform is 100% legit but the Mosin couldn't be his because German soldiers used G98. Maybe photo was taken before him being sent to camp or frontline.
I am sorry if this isn't proper subreddit for such questions but I have nowhere to ask. My family doesn't know much more about him. It's the only photo I have.
