Description

Photo – a vivid illustration of the transition from the statutory items of clothing available in the army and reserves by the beginning of the mobilization, to arbitrary things, characteristic of the middle and the end of world war II. All three soldiers dressed in the camp uniform (shirt, trousers and cap). The shape of the folds on the outfit it's safe to say that standing to the left of the shirt and trousers of cloth, while the other two are made of a cheaper "saknavtobi" matter. The latter is a blended brushed fabric, made generally of cotton mixed with wool and painted in a protective color in the piece. The use of such substitutes had to go due to shortage of cloth and wool to produce them; in addition, suceptable fabric were cheaper. Since September, 1914, for tailoring the marching soldiers ' uniforms were allowed to use all kinds of cloth and beaver matching colors available in the market, provided they are pure. It is believed that suceptable blended fabrics became widely distributed since the beginning of 1915 of the Shirt on the left and the average soldier is not yet fully authorised casual, model of 1912, shifted to the left strap and four buttons (two on the strap and two on the collar), no breast pockets. Shirt right soldier has a similar fit but with additional patch breast pockets with large flaps. Similar shirts were widely used throughout the war, but the sample was not approved. The shoulder straps of the average soldier, most likely, tailored, fused canvas, the right is introduced in August 1914 a simplified soft shoulder straps without sizing. The soldiers left, apparently, decided not to perestayut the only existing pair of shoulder straps with the overcoat on his shirt to savings – the phenomenon for the war are not rare. The waist strap had – cavalry of the sample with spankaway buckle, the soldier in the centre is a trophy, with the coat of arms of the Hungarian Kingdom; the right of soldiers kept the domestic belt in peacetime with "orlenas" badge. Two of the images – the knights of St. George: the average soldier visible crosses from the 4th and 3rd degrees (last bow) and the St. George medal of the 4th degree, right – the cross 4-th degree and the medal of the 4th degree. The latter, moreover, rehsil to adorn themselves released from the right breast pocket "selenom" (flat braided chain to the clock, at the same time samenaide keychain). On the back of the photo inscription and the date "24 May 1915". Although the outline of the five can be confused with the Troika, photos can not be done in 1913, Perhaps such a date is trivial slip of the pen, not timely noticed. Size 85*130 mm Guarantee of authenticity.
