leigh kitchen Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I was thinking Dutch, purely from the kepi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantsmil Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I would suggest that the uniform is Finnish. The jacket and badges are of the type worn in Finland between 1918 and 1922. Sometimes described as the 'Swedish type uniform'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that is one of the Finnish Civil Guard arm bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petteri Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 What uniform is he wearing ? Austria ? I haven?t seen a armbadge like this before ChristerFirst Picture is Swedish volunteer 1918 in Finland. Capt. Adolf Hamilton with Winter hat. Second is another swedish volunteer Colonel Ernst Linder who is wearing "Summer Cap". I would guess both uniforms look very much like the one in Thread opener.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The second officer is a Major General. Finnish officers used to wear collar laces, strikingly similar to Austro-Hungarian ones. The rank is denoted by a single lion on the collar. The ribbon in the buttonhole is of the Prussian Iron Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
