Description:: On the envelope: Pelhřimov, Sokol exercises 1925, sign .536, inv. no. 355
- group photograph of the Pelhřimov mounted Sokol unit. Thanks to the book “Historie sokolské jízdy Pelhřimov” we even know the names of all the riders (see the attached copy of a page from this book). Unfortunately, the dates disagree. While your website gives the year 1925, the book gives 1932. Since both my great-grandfather (first from the left) and my grandfather (5th from the right) are in the photograph, and I can therefore judge their ages, I think the date 1932 is closer to the truth, because in 1925 my grandfather was only 16 years old, but he appears older in the photograph.
