Haller’s
Army Uniform Page
Haller’s
Army was outfitted by the French. Their uniforms were of the same sky blue
color as the regular French Army, thus the name “Blue
Army” was given to them.
The
uniform shown in the following pictures is in the collection of Mr. Paul R.
Konys and is one of the finest examples of the uniform tunic worn by Haller’s
army officers. A special thank you is given to Mr. Konys, for without his
generosity and dedication to the preservation of Polish militaria, this uniform
page would not be possible.
Haller’s
Army Tunic
From the collection of Paul R. Konys
This
tunic originally came with the Cross or Horyn on it. The 1918-21 Polish war
medal and an original Polish -Russian war veterans association Medal were
added. It is an original example of fine Polish jewelers handiwork. The tunic
was reworked to have a proper Polish collar with branch of service. The
original tunics had the shorter French collars with the unit numbers on the
collar points.
