Austrian infantry. That colour is so hard to pin down. |

Anything in a picklehaube looks cool, then perhaps French curassier. |

Royal Newfoundland Regiment. The Blue Puttees…. Technically NOT a Canadian regiment as Newfoundland was still a Crown Colony. Just saying. Eric |

If it was me wearing it then it would be the one that provided the best camoflauge! |
 Doctor X | 30 Aug 2016 10:39 p.m. PST |
The Belgian units with the top hats. I think they are Chasseurs? A little rusty on my Great War… |
 piper909 | 30 Aug 2016 11:06 p.m. PST |
Scots Highlanders. If I had to pick a regiment, it would be the Cameron or Gordon Highlanders. Or maybe the Liverpool Scottish territorials. Without the silly kilt aprons. |
| Frederick | 31 Aug 2016 6:56 a.m. PST |
Coolest? French cuirassiers followed by Zouaves German Uhlans not so bad either Highlanders are great But – alternate thought – how about the Cossacks of the Guard? God Save The Czar!

German hussars. Hussar uniform – all dyed feldgrau. It makes no sense, but it's brilliant! |
| coolyork | 02 Sep 2016 9:27 p.m. PST |
Portugese with the fluted helmet ! |

The Liverpool Scottish for the win!

Romanians. Nobody has a cap that is as cool as this one!
|
| piper909 | 28 Sep 2016 11:02 p.m. PST |
Well, gotta admit that's a mighty fine chapeau! No glengarry or tam o'shanter, but it's got class and it definitely says, "Look at me!" |

My vote is for the Imperial German Marines – who had not yet received the field grey uniforms and went to war in their home service dress.
BTW – Piper 909 – as a kid my next door neighbor served in the Liverpool Scottish – joined up in 1914, captured in 1916 and spent the rest of the war as a POW. Had some interesting tales of life as a POW. |
