Medals
An older soldier with his group of medals. He certainly has the Iron Cross on the left. Next to that looks like it might be the Order of the Red Eagle followed by the Order of the Crown. 2nd to the right looks like a Cross Service for Officers given for 25 years of service. On the far right is a Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Medal.

Meyer
Two soldiers from a reserve regiment as indicated by the R stenciled on their helmet covers. The number of the regiment is not legible. The helmet covers are two piece models which were introduced in June of the 1915. That and the great coats would date this picture to the winter months of the year.
Written on the back is the name Meyer.
