Rudolf appears right at the bottom of the tombstone inscriptions.
It tells us that Rudolf -a Leutnant in der Reserve - died a hero's death in the assault on Konuicy {E. Galicia}. He had a number of decorations:
The family was originally from Budapest.

Gottlieb Hamerschlag was Ober Ing of the Nordwestbahn in Nimburg:
His wife Ernestine was née BECK
see: anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno?apm=0&aid=nfp&dat...
As yet, I have not identified the victim Minna BEER on a database - I presume she is the daughter of Kurt and Laura Beer and a granddaughter of Gottlieb
Susan Buyer wrote to me: I can shed a little light on the family relationships on
this photo. The Hamerschlags are relatives of my Bohemia/Vienna/New York
Hamerschlag family. Gottlieb *Hamerschlag* (born 1857 in Bohemia,
possibly (Reichenberg/Liberec) and his wife Ernestine *Beck* had 3
children:
1. Gustav Hamerschlag m.Lili *Herdmenger*
2. Mimi Hamerschlag m. Otto *Zoff* (well-known poet)
Mimi lived in Flushing, Queens, NY
3. Henriette Hamerschlag m. N. Von *Cleve*
son Heinz Cleve
From the dates, I would guess that Frieda Herdmenger was
Lili's sister. The *Beer* name is new to me, but I would guess that Laura
Beer née Beck was a sister of Ernestine Beck, and that Minna was
Ernestine's niece.
Gustav and Lili Hamerschlag's son Wolfgang died in
Vienna in 2006 and is buried at Dobling. I had some email correspondence with> him some years ago. I have two photos of Ernestine Beck Hamerschlag that
Wolfgang sent me at
> freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~susanb/europea...
These folks were all cousins of Margareta Berger-Hamerschlag.
