tomatocrazy Posted 16 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 March , 2011 Please try and help me figure out what kind of uniform this is. Is it a tricky one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piorun Posted 16 March , 2011 Share Posted 16 March , 2011 For most of us it is a tricky one as it appears to be Belgian. No doubt a Pal will come along. Be patient. Antony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomatocrazy Posted 17 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 17 March , 2011 Thank you Tim. I would be happy to send a larger 600dpi picture to anyone who would like to see it more clearly. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackblue Posted 17 March , 2011 Share Posted 17 March , 2011 Don't know where I came up with Dutch from!? Its obviously consistent with being Belgian as Antony says. There are some Belgian members here who may be able to help further. Try e-mailing some of the Belgian museums perhaps? http://www.klm-mra.be/klm-new/frans/main01.php?id=menu_links/startpagina Rgds Tim Rgds Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patje70 Posted 20 March , 2011 Share Posted 20 March , 2011 You could also try the Dutch forum "FORUM EERSTE WERELDOORLOG", there are a few members who have a stong interest in Belgian uniforms. Regards Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
