Thomas Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Here is a young member of the Res.J?ger Bataillion Nr.20 in January of 1915 on his way to Ru?land. Notice the large old style Tschako.Would he not have been wearing a standard M1891 shako? Great shoulder boards Chip. I like Jaeger items very much.

Chip Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks Thomas,I am a J?ger enthusiast too. Being a reservist, he was likely to get anything that was available, especially in 1915, the year of great shortages and substitutes. I have seen a similar photo from a different soldier from the battalion and he is wearing the same Tschako and cover.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
