Help Identifying Uniform Please

Yes, you are right!
It's 309th Honved Infantry Regiment. It was part of 55 ID in 1917, later renamed to 155 Hon ID.
Have you seen this book? http://www.comroestudios.com/StanHanna/
Hopefully you will find some answers there...

I found that site while researching my grandfather last week, but since I didn't know in which regiment my grandfather served, I wasn't sure what to look for. With your reminder, I have searched through the last two volumes for information on the 309 Honved IR, as well as the 15th. Though I don't have any specific knowledge of his service from Brzezany in early 1917 to Ekaterinaslov in late 1918, it sounds like he had a very active time of it.

Is there a "best" place to try to find any official documents of his service that might exist? I have seen many references to the Kriegsarchiv in Wien, but also some to an archive in Budapest. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My father fought in the Italian Army ww1. I have a picture of him in uniform. He fought in the Alps. On his hat has number 217. Trying to find out what regiment he was in can you help?

I recently found another document that appears to be related to my grandfather's WWI service. I'm hoping someone here knows what the document is and says.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the quick and informative response! I will have to contact my relatives in Austria to see if anyone knows what happened to the medal.

Unfortunately my German is very poor, so I will have to forward the search results to my mother!

Thanks again!
