Uniform help sought
What uniforms did the Yugoslav army wear 1919/1920 in their attempted invasion of Austria?
Thanks
Alan
I wasn't aware there was such an invasion! I expect uniforms, such as they were, would have been whatever was left in stock from the Great War. I think the Serbian Army had been re-equipped by France and Britain following the evacuation of 1915.
In December 1918 Yugoslavia became an independent nation composed of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs. The uniforms were field gray in accordance with central European fashion, with Serbian style headdress for all except guards who wore peaked caps, and gold shoulder boards and six pointed stars above the sleeve cuffs.
