    This is a unique tunic that I just got off eban - it appears to be WWI era corderouy (spelling?) with the traditional single shoulder chord and knot. But I just cant place the facing color with anything? What unit had "electric green"?

    That is an AMAZING site - tried to find something like that for ages - many many thanks!

    It looks like IR 46 was only in service till 1914? Or am I reading that wrong?

    The site only covers the period to 1914. For 1914-1918 use the site listed below. There is lots of information but it is a bit harder to use. Robert
