Search again the monument on your photos is not as massive as that of Milano . the Brindisi Monument was neglected many years and recently was restaurated

Brindisi ,Monumento ai Caduti della Prima Guerra Mondiale. that is the Monument to the fallen in WW1 . Why ? because it looks as it. the Germans are of the Afrika Korps just arrived by the Uniforms . Brindisi was one of the Ports for the shipment of troops to Africa .

The Service de Sante kepi for Medical Doctors was Madder Red with Bordeux Red band ,

Prima ! Inmaculate condition

The Feldbinde made of metallic thread ,leather and cloth, was reglamented for use in campaign to carry the pistol in its holster , the field glasses and the map case , the sword was carried suspended from a internal belt .German Officers of all branches went to the Battlefield in 1914 wearing Field grey uniforms with the metallic lace feldbinde with clasp in button colour metal . soon it was realized the incovenience of the feldbinde highly visible so it was replaced by one made of leather with the same clasp but getont that is sightly oxidised . but the lace feldbinde was retained for wear out of the Battlefield . important to note that many uniform pieces were sustituted by others , but the older ones were authorized for use until total wear.

Hello, It looks okay , the liner and the adjust belt are not details present in fakes

Could be of Saxon Hussars . 18th or 19th Regiments . the 14th Prussian Hussars weared also Light Blue Attilas but they were a darker shade . a rather curious detail are the olives on the back of the waist, there must be rosettes

Prima !

v Perlet, you refers to the fact that the collar piping of the the tunic is not plain ?

Its clear what Nach Ersatz mean in military, but why existed ? well among the Draftees each year were those who in the Phisical and mental exams resulted as fit for all service , others were not so high qualified a third Group were those with deficient aptitudes but not handicapped and finally those who resulted Unfit for any service . normally only those FaS were recruited either first or second class aptitudes , those DPA were not recruited and of course the UFAS also were not . But , if Necesity arose for the reason that was, the criterias and qualifications were revised . with this i want to complement v Perlet answer

Multumesc Domnul Carol ! Of course the Tudor Vladimirescu and Horia Closca si Crisan Divisions are a topic in itself. Respect to General Lt General Gheorge Avramescu ,I understand that he was perhaps the best Romanian General in the Eastern and the Western Fronts . he was a victim of the Smersh probably because it was a possible Premier

Deadly Field Kitchens ! and yes the two Maxim Sokolov promised a hellish crossfire

Feasting in Salami , jajaaa During the combats that followed the Battle of Mons in 1914 , British soldiers noted the aproximation on a eminence of what they tought were the Field Kitchens of their Army and dont fire against the carriages .they were German Garde machine Gunners with their carriages . calmly the Germans deployed their guns, range , aim and opened fire with deadly eficience

Carol I ,thanks for your data ! General Dicezare was a notable fighter pilot in the 7 Grupul Vanatoare and fought in Stalingrad , over 500 combat missions and a kill count of 16 confirmed and 3 non confirmed . but its all that i could find ,nothing about him after August 1944 but he must have continued in service and after December 1947 also

Hello, Carol I stated clearly that the Romanian awards after the country turned against Germany (and Hungary ) were the same as before the 24th August 1944 because Romania remained a Monarchy and with her Army ; Navy and Air Force without changes . that was until December 30 of 1947 when King Michael I was forced to abdicate . Soviet awards were certainly conceded , beggining by King Michael awarded with the Order of the Victory by Stalin

Perhaps they are part of a dismounted Hussar Regiment from November 1917 seven Hussars Regiments were dismounted and served as Infantry

King Alfonso was by his mother Archduchess Maria Cristina von Austria Teschen a Habsburg . His uncle was Archduke Friedrich ,nephew and heir of the Archduke Albert . Alfonso was very afective with his Austrian uncle and cousins . During the war he was very active in the Red Cross to relief POWS and interchange , for his Wife ,Queen Victoria Eugenia he was simpathetyc with Great Britain and so he must act with finest skills

Prussia and Austria Hungary, fought as Allies against Denmark for the possesion of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein but two years later they fought prussians and austrians for the booty . in the frame of the German Unification pursued by von Bismarck

Hello Cathy , first of all Mr William Brown enlisted in th Army in 1860 and remained in service until 1881 , a life in the Army. but , in which Regiment or Corp he enlisted ? To enlist in the Army Hospital Corps were required two or three years of previous service and then a probatory period of six months ,once approved you compromises to serve three years in active and another three in reserve . the uniform on the photo dont fits with any uniform used by either the Medical Staff Corps or the Army Hospital Corps . appears as khaki in colour but not khaki drill , the cuffs , collar and piping on the front of the tunic were probably blue , the same the hungarian knots over the cuffs , over the right one is barely visible the round bage with the Geneva Cross , regarding the buttons , the AHC carried large buttons gilded and 25mm in diameter

All fits well, vulkanfiber peak, gaberdine type upper part (teller ) and velvet band. a good quality piece and almost not weared . the cockade with the svastika in the center, its not a Erel piece neither a Pekuro one it was manufactured by a supplier controlled by the RZM ,Reichszeugmeisterei , General Quartermaster office

I reccomend the Dorotheum auction House of Vienna
