Polish military uniforms

They were a invading French-speaking force, in the end it was the English culture they won out, same as you with your various invaders.

funny that you have no clue.
What are you?

Then, who do you think the Normans wer?


The Dooms day Book was inventory, a summary of what they had conquered, it wasn't a founding document with any founding principles.

eh? The Normans were the guys who conquered Anglo-Saxons, and molded it into entity that become England, They merged into background, it took about 300 years.

What remain is a lot of French words in the English vocabulary.
Also you have a pig or a hog but then you eat pork french porc.

England was already a country before the Normans invaded. Our names for towns, cities and place names are Anglo-saxon in origin Our county system is Anglo-Saxon, London was our capital, and so forth.

What country do you come from?

Citizen, Highlander units` uniform is traditional but still officially used. It is not a historical re-enactment, it is real Polish Army.

I am aware of that. We hav soldiers that do ceremonial duties Marching, Passing out Ceremonies, Trooping the Colour, March Bys, and I assume that the rifles are not loaded and old fashion rifles would look better.

Ok, I see. You can be right, after all, but I don`t mind what they carry.

Not a single part of that is true.
The Normans were considered at the time the poor relations of the English in Europe. The only reason the Normans were able to seize control of the crown and country was the pre existing social structures. The Norman Lords just took over English earldoms (earldormen,thegns) and the lands that went with them. It was more of a Coup than a conquest in many ways.

One thing they did introduce was Primo geniture,but you would probably like that stuff and not see it as a problem, I mean, why should the Anglo Saxon women continue to have equal rights eh? ;) This was no *cunning plan* by the Normans but what it did do was slightly cut down the number of mini wars between brothers that allowed for England to become a far more stable sociaty than the rest of Europe at the time,but not completly as our Kings had a habit of fighting against their own brothers,wives or dads :)

Unfortunatly that leads to the problem of all those nasty things like Serfdom etc *we* like to blame on the Normans were actually English home grown laws.

Id agree with everything citizen just said apart from the fact that London was not the capital of England back then,it never had even been a capital of the earlier Anglo Saxon Kingdoms,just a fairly *open city* in Mercia.

Single what is not true?
In English historiography there is a sharp divide between those who claim that conquest by the Normans bought revolutionary changes to Anglo-Saxon England and those that claim that their impact was only minimal.

Alas my claim could be and well is debatable. Under no circumstances can be described as no true at all.

Again from Krakow area: peasant scytheman uniform from 18./19 century, called Kosynier:

If you mean really early 1900s, until 1918, then it can` t be a Polish uniform as there weren` t such uniforms then (partitions).

The uniform in the picture looks worn out so it might be war period, indeed, but the army involved could be one of 3 partition powers. Can you narrow down the search, e.g., in which area of Poland was the photo taken?

Hi, this is a photo of my Ukrainian relative who I believe was in the Polish Army during WWII. He and his family were from Roliv in Lviv right near the current western border of Ukraine/Poland. I was wondering if anyone could provide any information on his uniform. Thanks! Is there any way to post any image?

To me, it looks like a German uniform of that period.

It's the Litzen on the collar, isn't it....

Can anyone help me identify a military hat?

Do you have a photo or are we supposed to guess?

I'm greetings dear sir my question concerns accurate artifacts of military uniforms which I am purchasing for a Polish person on Christmas and what I have just doesn't seem to be real and I haven't matched to any of it to your photos would you be able to identify these as either being authentic or something that you've seen in the Polish military or not I have a belt buckle I have something that says it holds a sword or scabbard
