MILITARY MONDAY

               


            Peter Joseph Nebgen served as a midshipman on a German vessel prior to immigrating to the US. I have two photos of him in his uniform.  However, I like this one the best because while the other one is a close up, this one shows the background and gives a better glimpse into those times.

  1. What an interesting uniform. What is the time frame?

  2. He immigrated to the US in either 1887 or 1888 so it would have to be in the time frame of 1885 to 1887 or 1888.
