HUSSAR PATROL WITH GAS MASKS 1918 - a photo on Flickriver

HUSSAR PATROL WITH GAS MASKS 1918

            An image that I also have in postcard format. Horses also have their gas mask but no eye protection (presence of a protective mucous membrane?). A demonstration of the equipment worn during gas attacks. The soldiers wear the Lederschutzmaske with their helmets. They also have the lance typical of equestrian troops (with strap to carry it on the back).

The numbering in 0 and three digits I have not yet succeeded in unraveling the mystery. The photo is probably from 1918. Perhaps when Bufa passed the number 10000 they went back to 0 before realizing that it was a mistake. Or maybe some kind of special issue.
Another interesting detail: people might think that the Bufa photo is the maximum size of the photo but it is wrong. As we can see there is an additional tree on the right in the postcard. This means that even large Bufa photos are cutted from the original. On some there must be some interesting elements left out of the picture.
