    1. To me is a enlisted men tunic , 1 Garde Dragoner Regiment . of the 1910 pattern . If you not find the cyphered shoulders boards . is correct to attach to the tunic a blank SB ,field grey with red piping .
    2. The past and the tradition were persistent in the Old Austria .and are
    3. Warrant Officers . or Petty Officers . notice the cap badges.
    4. Gentlemen : To me is a Austro Hungarian mapcase of the type used with the pre Pike grey ,field uniform
    5. King George of Saxony . King George reigned only two years 1902 1904 and was not popular . in the photo he wears the uniform of a Saxon infantry regiment with general epaulettes .
    6. Between 1900 and 1909 , but in fact ,the old uniforms were used to some extent until 1914 .and inclusive after the war broke out.
    7. Perhaps ,but both types of Renault Armored car used the characteristic low engine bonnet of Renault
    8. Morar Andrei : Yes , the dark uniform is Honved .
    9. Morar Andrei : The man in the first picture Is a Honved Korporal ( Tizedes ) his uniform is pre 1909 , it not looks as the Hechtgrau . The Hungarian trousers were used by the Honved and the Hungarian regiments of the Imperial and Royal Army . but the knot over the trousers were different . dark red for the Honved and yellow with black for the others .
    10. Morar Andrei : At last i discovered a photo of a Romanian Army armored car during WW1 . Its a French one . A Peugeot or perhaps a Mors . take a look at : Only Romania . com 2013 01 Romanian Army in ww1 photos I .
    11. They were based on Soviet T 60 captured chassis ,only seven prototypes were built not all equal . the differed in armament ,122 mm or 75 mm gun , motor , soviet or french (hotchkiss ) and eve chassis . one or two were on czech tanks . the Romanians planned to build 1000 , all the prototypes were confiscated by the soviets .In fact the Russians only allowed the now allied Romanian Army to mantain the most weared or obsolete AFV s
    12. Morar Andrei ; I assume that you are Romanian speaking so i suggest you to take a look to the following site : Discutie , Monumentul Eroilor Cavaleristi din Primul Razboi Mondial .
    13. Der erste ist Polizei . Bayerische Landpolizei . sie nicht offiziere ist . die kokarde ist bayerische .
    14. It looks modern , in the line of the German Hetzer builded over a 38 t czech tank chassis
    15. With your permission : In every war , the propaganda ,was very active and sometimes ,war journalists or inclusive the officers dealing with the public information incurred in suspicious practics , perhaps the two cars were captured near Wilna but a year or more later one reappeared as a capture in the Romanian front . The Germans used in the Romanian front with good results their own armoured cars .only three , a Erhardt ,a Daimler and a Bussing .
    16. Andrei : Until 1909 the service and field uniform of theAustrian and Hungarian infantry was A dark blue Bluse with collar patches in regimental colour , in the case of the Honved ,red .the field cap was grey blue , the same colour the tight trousers .to me your man is a Korporal (tizedes in hungarian ) of a Honved infantry regiment . between 1900 and 1909 . he carries a Mannlicher M1895 rifle , he wears a shooter award .
    17. Hello : Its a shako plate for the Royal Hungarian Honved . of the 1897 model .(curved sides ) the last model was the 1911 with straight sides .and more higher . the first model was the 1869 wich was round in shape .
    18. Andrei : They were Infantry regiments .One the 2nd was a Imperial and Royal Infantry regiment of Hungarian ethnicity and uniform .the other two were Royal Hungarian Infantry regiments . all of them regular standing units . not second line troops .excuse me a mistake the regiment with the 3rd bataillon in fogaras was the 23 rd and not the 21th .You wants to know about the participation of these units in ww1, well its not easy . much of the history of the Austro Hungarian units during the ww1 was lost in the aftermath of the dissolution of the Empire .some regiments have their history recorded ,most no .one form of search is the study of the campaigns beggining with the Serbian . probably due to the fact that four Royal Hungarian Divisions took part in the attack against Serbia the two R H regiments fought in Serbia .The other alternative was the Galician front . against Russia . Finally in 1916 when Romania invaded Transylvania surely these Regiments fought against the Romanians .
