" Supply Platoon "
Hungarian reserve platoon in mixed 1930-40 uniforms.

 
The warrant officer in the middle of the photo is wearing the infamous shoulder boards that were in use in the Hungarian army for very short time between 1940-41 before it was abolished. The shoulder boards were very unpopular amongst the officers and in contrary to the Hungarian uniform traditions.
