The Tyrolean Kaiserjager: History, Uniforms, Equipment and Preservation of Tradition from 1816 to Today

1-242580

Examines the 200-year history, uniforms, equipment and tradition of the Tyrolean Kaiserjager. Covers personalities, careers, and awards, as well as weaponry, culture of remembrance, and history in WWI. The Kaiserjager deployed Galicia, Romania, and the Dolomites, where the heavily contested mountains of Monte Piano, Col di Lana, Lagazuoi and the Pasubio massif went down in history as the Kaiserjagerberge. The imperial couple Karl and Zita in particular reward the Kaiserjager's loyalty with lifelong loyalty.

Covers the Bergisel and the Tyrolean Kaiserjager Museum, which preserves the history of the Kaiserjager. Other chapters show how the Alt-Kaiserjager Club, Kaiserjagerbund, and the original Tyrolean Kaiserjager music have kept the memory of the regiments alive for over a hundred years and what important role the Austrian Federal Army plays in maintaining tradition today. Includes detailed images of uniforms, equipment, and decorations to illustrate insights into the history of the Tyrolean Kaiserjager.
