A new draft of men for the Hesse-Kassoulet Dragoon Carabiniers has taken place in Bad Baden, this is the first new intake of men for the constabulary for some time. Reports of banditry are becoming more common and this with rumours of the cross and through trade being caught up in a merchants war makes keeping the canals and trade roads open critical.

The latest gossip from Kassel-Olat was the appearance of two recruits in an uniform not seen before, the gossiprazzi say they are recruits of the Erzherzogin Viktoria Ellen Guard Infantry which arrived in Hesse-Kassoulet a fortnight ago! They are there to escort the artillerist to the Tittanmuff barracks, where the Erz V. E. Guard Infantry have been training in seclusion.

ReplyDeleteA very interesting depiction of the summer and winter uniforms of the Erzherzogin Guard; the latter is no doubt very practical, and think of the saving to the exchequer. I daresay that such sartorial splendour will have a deleterious effect upon the enemy's performance of his duty, none being willing to obscure such an outlook with the smoke of their own musketry... Or something.
ReplyDeleteAhh you see through the Inhabers cunning plans, and really, if you were confronted by a lovely frau in her knickers would you stick her with a bayonet? Somehow that doesn't quite read right? 8-]
DeleteNot with the bayonet, no...
