Chris Boonzaier Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Being an ex Infantryman (2eme R.E.I.) I collect all German WW1 EXCEPT Mounted units ;-)But it really is very very nice to see such a collection.Must have taken a lot of patience to put it together....

Chris Boonzaier Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I remember a fight in a bar in marseille, a legionnaire did the traditional thing if squeezing the red pom-pom on a French sailors hat......I wonder if Infantry in 1914 tried to balance things on the Uhlanans flat tops ;-)Do you only do headgear or documents as well?
