    1. The Prussian , All I was able to find about the Sardinian Army in Verona from 1866 onwards was the Italian Contingent that entered in Verona the 16th October 1866 consisted of 600 men of the Milizia . Its no surprise due to the fact that the Austrians had leave the City without fight. The imponent Fortifications of Verona and their magazines and miltary stores , the great Military Hospital and Casernes all changed hands . many years after around 1880 was garrisoned the 10th Bersagliere in the Catena Caserma

    15. Hello , Austro Hungarian Cavalry comprised : Dragoons, Uhlans , Hussars ,and Tyrolean and Dalmatian Mounted Rifles. In the year 1914 all types of Regiments marched to the War wearing their normal uniforms of Peacetime but with the headdressess covered with Pike grey cloth covers or painted in Pike grey colour. the exception were the Machine Gun squadrons ,uniformed in Pike Grey special uniforms . The uniforms were light blue with regimental facings for Dragoons and with madder red breeches for example. But your question is if the AH Cavalry weared Field Grey uniforms and the answer is Yes . at the end of 1914 they begun to receive dark blue grey breeches instead of the red , later they received Pike Grey infantry type Blusen , and finally from mid 1915 the so called Pelzulanka in Field Grey colour and same colour Blusen with regimental colour collar patches for Dragoons , Red patches for Uhlans and Honved hussars and Dark or Light blue ones for Common Army Hussars. Mounted Rifles received the same items and their collar patches were rifle green in colour . Later ,the Cavalry received Steel helmets in dull brown colour .
