IR 83

Fortepan is a real treasure trove for researchers of old photographs. It even satisfies such exotic needs as wearing photos of Great War cap badges. What’s more, it publishes the best quality images without a doubt. This applies to the quality of the original images: there is selection. But also applies to the resolution of the available images: we get large image files.

So it is not surprising that one of the best images in which the regiment number can be clearly seen on the flag badge evoking the register number of the infantry regiments comes from this collection. I presented the flag badge of the 83rd Regiment on an equally rare field postcard here earlier.
