Title: Great Danes

There is a pretty neat picture on ebay incorrectly described as "21st Norwegian group". In reality, the picture is of Danish Soldiers, nicely posing with their distinctive Krags.

Nice photo. My Mother's side of the family all originated in Denmark. Could be some of my ancestors in that photo.

I was successful in obtaining the ebay auction picture of the (21st) Danish group of soldiers with Krags.� H. Rasmussen was a fine photographer.� My low resolution digital email photo does not due justice to the clear detail of the rifles.
