hi, Waleed,

more than 14 days later, it´s time for a hint ...

greetings, the pb

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

OK, His military career started at the age of 15 and retired from active duty just before WWI.
A short retirement as war broke out and he was recalled.

Extra little help: What's he holding? It might help in the search.

[Galahad]

That's Prince Leopold of Bavaria, supreme commander on the Eastern Front in succession to Field Marshal Hindenburg.

[Terry Duncan]

Galahad,

Sorry for the delay, I have been unable to get a reply from Waleed and he appears not to have visited the AHF for some time, so I am happy for you to ask the next question if you so desire?

--What was unusual about the official service weapons of the US Army in World War I?

[Galahad]

--Time for a hint, methinks.

--“A man's reach must exceed his grasp;
Or what's a Heaven for?”

[Marcus Wendel]

As Galahad is no longer active here we need a new question.
