EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures August von Mackensen in the early stages of his illustrious military career, during his first year of service with the Prussian 2nd Life Hussar Regiment in 1869. The young soldier, who would later rise to the rank of Field Marshal in the German army, is seen here in the rolling fields of Germany, proudly wearing the distinctive uniform of the Prussian cavalry. The 1860s were a time of great change for the Prussian military, as it underwent a period of modernization and expansion in preparation for the unification of Germany. Mackensen, who volunteered for the regiment at the age of 18, would go on to distinguish himself in numerous battles and campaigns, earning a reputation as a skilled and daring commander. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of the German military and the man who would become one of its most celebrated figures.
