Klaudius Freiherr von Czibulka (1862?-?)Oskar Bruch drew in 1915 – probably with chalk – an almost complete series of the K.u.K. and German officer corps.

Oskar Bruch (1869-1943)Here we only publish a small subjective selection from the most interesting heads.
Eduard Freiherr von Böhm-Ermolli. In 1918 the Monarchy’s troops occupied the Ukraine under his leadership.
Artur Freiherr von Bolfras, head of Franz Joseph’s cabinet office
