Einjährig-Freiwillige - One Year Volunteers in the Old Army
Fritz posted a topic in Uniforms, Belts and Buckles
An old period chart showing insignia for one year volunteers. The shoulder straps were edged with a twisted coloured cord in the colours of their state. They were usually expected to provide their own uniform and equipment, and these were often in a fine quality compared to officers items. The one year volunteers usually came from well situated families, and after qualifying in studies or a civilian profession, had the possibility of later becoming a Reserve Officer. -
