Italian Army WW1

[Violam]

My Great grand Father was in the Italian War, how do I get info or pics of that? That would be the coolest to have..

I don't know about pictures, but see this thread for information on how to obtain your ancestor's Italian military records: http://italiangenealogy.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=15162/

Thank you again..I am amazed at how quickly you all are on posts..I think you all should get raises..lol

[PeterTimber]

Thank you for the raises but since we are unpaid volunteers perhaps you might call us either your models or your heroes instead. =Peter=

[Violam]

I like that Peter, getting info I so want, u r my heroes.

Hi,

There is still a very famous cavalry regiment based in Pinerolo, Piemonte.
They have a fascinating museum, just off the main piazza. I was there about 3 years ago, hoping to find info regarding my g grandfather - but no luck.

This is the only one I know of, but there are bound to be others in Italy.

I found this picture of an unknown relative of ours - does anyone know when this is from? The picture is in sepia tones, appears to be quite old.

This is Italian Army (Esercito) for sure. An Infantry Regiment.
Too bad the black and with pictures dont give any idea of the colour
of the collar.
Here there are all the infantry regiments and the color of the collars

Also too bad there is not the hat of the uniform, it usually shows the number of the infantry regiment.
I hope it helps
bye Riccardo

[jeanneicolari]

Thank you so much for that information. Do you know the approx time period for this uniform?

[ricbru]

For sure that picture was taken during WW1, 1915-1918.
I hope it helps
