On Back: Back Photo Studio: J.Falkova, Ludza Other Information: This member of the Latvian Aero Club wears a number of distinctive badges. The large disc worn around his neck states that he is the "Pagasts Vecakais", which literally translates as 'municipal elder' - essentially, the mayor. Below the LAK badge is the "Aizsargi" badge, and below that is the badge of the 5th Cesis Infantry.
