That one? Yes, they do look like members of the Chinese Company raised by the III. Seebatallion 1898-1901. With a Seenatallion NCO in Litsun.

That's a brilliant website you've got Coyote...

Chris

Thanks for the answer. Now, were they actually in German service? Or strictly for the Imperial Chinese Army?

Are you a member of CR?

Best Regards,

Geo

[Chris Dale]

Hi Geo,

Oh, yes, they're in German service. A company was raised but disbanded in 1901.

No, I'm not a member... yet...

Cheers
