Photo ordinary 67th tarutinsky infantry regiment in the family, 1914

Belonging to the shelf easily identified by the monograms of the chief – the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. The patronage of the Dukes of Oldenburg Tarutinsky infantry regiment wore from 1860 to 1900 the chief were the Grand Duke Peter II (Nikolaus Friedrich Peter), 1900 – his son, Grand Duke Friedrich-August. The monogram FA under the crown is clearly visible on the cloth epaulet. Stocks of insignia for all personnel in military States were prepared in peacetime. Order of the war Department No. 511 on lifting with the shoulder straps "veselavas encryption persons of Austrian and German sovereign houses in the shelves, which it was rated" appeared on 14 August 1914, two weeks after the beginning of the mobilization, and the procedure of removing the monograms inevitably required time, so that in fact they could be worn up to send to the front.

That picture was taken during a General mobilization of 1914, shows the color of the leather waist belt. These belts of izgotavlival of "white" (actually light yellow, natural color) optovoi skin and drag them through the mud "under the wax" relied only upon issuance at the hands of the lower ranks. With the beginning of the mobilization of the troops suffered from lack of time and money for this procedure, so the quartermaster Department almost immediately, in early August, 1914, were allowed to issue them to the troops in the form in which they were kept in stock, and continue to wear without blackening. Another characteristic detail – the marching uniform of the sample of 1909, by the cut somewhat reminiscent of the officer, but do not have cuffs, and breast pockets. To supply such uniforms began to arrive from 1910, but originally they were sent not to the troops, and the mobilization reserves. Two years later, in 1912, the marching uniform of the lower ranks were replaced by more comfortable, practical and cheap cloth outdoorsy shirt. Stocks marching uniforms while in the toe have been issued, and they began to use only since the beginning of the mobilization, therefore, these uniforms are abundant in the photographs of the initial period of world war. The perfectly illustrates the appearance of the infantryman, called up from the reserve to the war, through which he was hardly destined. Postcard format. Reverse side lined. The guarantee of authenticity.
