Very interesting type of leggings, in the first picture. Never seen anything like that before.
Anybody know anything about them? Any detailed pictures? |

It seems to be an Austro-hungarian artillery private with a civilian fellow. The civilian might be a recruit, carrying the traditional bouquets on the labels of his coat and on the cap (barrowed from the photographer?). Until 1914, artillery soldiers wore blue caps (“Kappe”) , brown single breasted tunics with red collar, cuffs and shoulder boards, blue trousers. The crescend style ornaments on the shoulder boards outer seams, were padded and covered with red cloth. They should retain the equipment slings and the rifle strap. On the left side he carries an M. 1853 artillery short sword. Until 1914, in Brasov was located the 34th Common Army (K.u.K.) Artillery Regiment composed of 60% Hungarians, 20% Romanians and 20% other nationalities. |

This is a infantry private of the Royal Hungarian Army (Honved) that represented the territorial troops of the Hungarian Kingdom within the Habsburg Empire. He carries the M. 1908 field uniform, so the photo could be taken between 1908-1914. The red tassels on the left breast were the marksmen badge. He carries the Honved model of belt plate. The tight trousers, decorated with hungarian knots, were traditional for Honved troops. The cylindrical ornament on the right shoulder strap was used to sustain the rifle strap. Before 1914, in Brasov area were located the 23rd Honved infantry Regiment (Fagaras) and 24th Honved infantry Regiment (Brasov, Mirecurea Ciuc). |

The two infantrymen of a Honved infantry regiment. They have late 19th Century uniforms, carried up to 1908. The privates have light blue caps and trousers, dark blue tunics with red piping. |

This Second –lieutenant has puttees not leggings. Indeed the puttees are unusual, fastened with a cloth strap on the upper side, but very common among the reserve officers during the concentration period of 1914-1916. According the 1912 uniforms regulation foot officers should have natural leather leggings, similar to the german WW1 model, but only some of active officers bought these expensive items. During the campaign many officers had cavalry boots or cheaper cloth puttees. |

Thanks for the info Kepi I never new that leggings in Romanian is jambiere and there is a deferent term for (in Romanien) moletiere: puttees. But my question still stands, I am referring at that small clips or what ever that is. Where they used instead of the usual string / piece of cloth?

Thanks, Claudiu.
The order appears to be the 'Katonai Jubileumi Kereszt' (in Hungarian), or the 'Military Jubilee Cross' (in English). Based on the large size of the order as it appears on the photo, the soldier should have been a rather short man. Gen. Dénes |
