It is 11.30 pm here and I have been on the phone to Jean and Hasmig. Jean discovered in his big book called MEMORIES OF MUSADAGH
On November 21, 1916 in Port Said a French Foreign Legion was formed by the French.
Made up of 600 Musadagh volunteers from tent city. These Armenians were trained in Cyprus. Sarkis believes this photo was taken in Cyprus. On September 19, 1918. This Legion was victorious (VICTORY OF ARARA) against Turk and German coalition forces. I am not told where this event took place. I assume it is in Turkey.
This sheds some light on the date of Hapet's photo in uniform. Now to find the cousin.
