It's working for me. I see Belgians in Tyrolean hats.

Quite why they are in Tyrolean hats is another matter. Have they been on a skiiing holiday?

[Hammers]

They are trying to fool the invading Bavarian regiments. They were clever that way, the Belgians. Here's another ruse they pulled...

No they are Belgian Stetsons, in the 1900s there was a failed attempt to capture the Western Movie market in Belgium, as such the Gov`t equipped all soldiers with Stetsons and a neck scarf..it was to be the golden dawn of the Brussel Sprout Western

Alas with the outbreak of WW1 the army was mobilised and reservists who were on location in the Ardennes were drafted into the front line, obviously the only suitable head gear was that which is portrayed above

Sadly the movie empie was never to be

Or was it? Weren't those seen in the Young Indina Jones series? He had joined the Belgians if I remember correctly.

That would have been a much better tagline for "The Sixth Sense."

I see the pic now, although I couldn't this morning. They remind me of upscale hotel doormen!

By the way, these are from the UK company Brigade Models, not Lon Weiss' Brigade Games from the USA, that many of us into the Great War in 28mm might be more familiar with.

Ah, I see hats  
And they're not the ones in young Indy.
