Description
This 500-page book filled with colour illustrations presents, for the first time, a detailed and systematic view of the uniforms and equipment of the Austro-Hungarian Army during the First World War. More than 1200 colour illustrations, some of objects never shown before: from the personal uniform of Kaiser Franz Joseph 1. to the field grey regulation wear of the common soldier; from the golden Dragoon's helmet to the dull, brown steel helmet of the Isonzo Front. 250 contemporary photographs give a vivid impression of how soldiers in the Austro-Hungarian Army looked wearing "The Emperor's Coat" during the First World War. The book depicts a changing army, its soldiers marching into battle in 1914 in brightly coloured parade dresses and returning home in 1918 in worn out field grey uniforms. Written entirely in English. A VERY IMPRESSIVE book!! |
