Assault trooper

Assault badges are the strangest and most sought-after cap badges. This topic has been discussed many times. At the end of the Great War, there were even plans to introduce a uniform performance badge for assault troops, but this never happened.

In this post, I will present one of the well-known badges from the Arkanzas company, which I think was an impressive design, and a photo of the badge being worn. The most famous motif, the skull, dominates the badge, decorated with oak and laurel leaves. The depiction of the skull bone is very realistic, this is why it is also scary. Above it, there is a flag badge in the photo, half-hidden. It has two numbers on it, the second one I think is a five. 25, 65 or 85? The flag is rather dark in color, so it could be the flag badge of the 85th Infantry Regiment. In the photo, we see someone from the assault company of this regiment.
