Men at arms

HIR 4.

The Nagyvárad Honvéd IR no.4.  was part of the tried and tested 20th Infantry Division. They fought in the Carpathians, then on the Italian front, first at the upper reaches of the Isonzo and then at the Karst.

The cap badge of the regiment depicts the fight against the many-headed dragon, the honvéd bucks fighting against many enemy countries. This round badge was the only badge of the regiment, produced in Vienna by the Gurschner company, in large numbers. In the wearing photo, the regimental commander, Colonel Károly Kratochvill, decorates the handle of his bayonet with the badge.
