Noor Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi, I would like to know is the man on the picture wearing Polish uniform. Also the ribbon bar is part of this set. It is the same ribbon what is on use in Poland and what Russian Tsar adopted for St.Stanislaus order. My main question is the uniform, can someone please ID it?

leigh kitchen Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 British Officer's Service Dress? The badge on the left breast - a Polish regimental insignia, the Yugoslavian Order of Merit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin1939 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi, I would like to know is the man on the picture wearing Polish uniform. Also the ribbon bar is part of this set. It is the same ribbon what is on use in Poland and what Russian Tsar adopted for St.Stanislaus order. My main question is the uniform, can someone please ID it? I think the uniform would date from the Polish war of independance (1920-1922) when because Polish uniforms were only starting to be made in Poland, most would have British, US etc with Polish rank and other insignia , medal bars and badges or shortly after WW1.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Are you sure the ribbon bar lying on the photo is the same the man is wearing? I personally do not think the uniform is Polish at all and certainly not from 1920-22 era. Open collars and ties began to be used in the Polish Armed Forces in 1936 (in the air force), in the army as late as in 1939/40 in the Polish Army in France. If it was a WWII Polish army uniform, it would most probably have collar patches on it. To me it looks more Yugoslavian or Czech, unfortunately it is a typical military jacket, you cannot see the rank and the photo is too blurred to see details. I think it will be difficult to figure out without knowing further details about the photo itself :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
