Jules, well he was the few commanders I could remember from that war.. well, now that I'm looking at some pics, they all look the same to me .. what's wrong with these people.. I didn't think white people would look same to me, but they do.

Well if it's not McDonald, it's either Daniel Tyler or Porter, or Heintzelman, Theodore Runyon, Dixon Miles, and since POrter was already suggested, I say it's ... Daniel Tyler or Schenck.

No no.. look at his gear, it's not very modern.. look at his age, is this the man that fought in Vietnam too?

He is a captain, and leader/commander of artillery school. And he is NOT Finnish.

No it is from a war. This man participated in a war. Take a look at that thing he has in his left arm. It's the most important clue as to what war he might be fighting in.

Don't expect me to answer that.. the man IS Swedish, he IS a captain, and he fought a war. . The left hand, the left hand is the one that can give this away. If you get it, you are on the right tracks, if not, you will never guess.

Tired of ads?

Yeah. It has a meaning. And when you figure out the meaning, you figure out the war. And when do figure out the war, it's only step away from figuring out who this Swedish man is.

that sash thing got me nowhere... but let's see, it's a photograph meaning its post 1850's... the uniform indicates post 1870's... but the fact that the artillery piece has spoked wooden wheels as opposed to tires would mean this is pre-1920's... what war did sweden participate in during that period? none... hell, Sweden wasn't actively participating in any war since the 18th century! there was that sending of some troops to help the Finns out against the Soviets but that wasn't an actual war.

OK I'll give it up... so there can be other pics to be analyzed.

AS came pretty good with his thinking patterns though, and would have come close to cracking the case if given more time and few clues more. Good job

The point is, Sweden didn't do war. But you got the time there pretty good, the era, and so the next thing would have been to know, or study, or guess, that there were Swedish guys in here to help the White side in our Civil War. Yes, maybe it was too hard of a picture . Sorry..

His name is Adolf .. now I forgot it myself too..

Well I say Albert Speer got closest because he got the clues right. The next part might have been impossible to solve anyway. So I think he wins, and should put the next picture.
