Polish Uniform
Hey all, my great grandfather was in the Polish Cavalry in the beginning of the war. I just received a picture of him and I was wondering if anyone can tell what rank and unit he was in from his uniform.
Re: Polish Uniform
Certainly a cavalryman. Private. Withe stripe on cap indicates unit, but as I'm not specialist in cavalry I will not tell you by hard which one.
Re: Polish Uniform
As withe stripe on the cap refers to 10 different cavalry regiments, collar patches are most important to identify unit. As they are not clearly visible it may be 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th mounted riflemen regiment, but I'm not really sure.
Uniform is M19 type in version from period 1935 - 1939.
Red rope / lanyard refers to very good shooting skills.
