Guest ebukreev Posted 15 February , 2012 Share Posted 15 February , 2012 This is a picture of my great great grandfather, who I know very little about. He was born in Trieste, in 1890, and was in WW1, but what I would like to know is - on which side? This uniform doesn't look Italian, or Russian. Can someone help?

Khaki Posted 15 February , 2012 Share Posted 15 February , 2012 As Trieste at that time, until 1918, was part of the Hapsburg Empire, I would hazard a guess that the uniform is Austrian. regards khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
