To me it looks like the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905. The foot solider looks like Japanesse infantry of the period. Not very Germanic. Most Russian WWI items I've seen have the Germans in pickalhaubes. The Calvary looks like a Cossack.
You serverd you country when it was needed. You did what was asked of you and more. You gave some of your life back to all of us. You defended freedom when it was needed. You did your job. I and many, many others do not look at that any different than those serving now. If needed you were...
While being an extra may sound exciting it is really alot of work. I did it for a week for "Gettysburg". Used my own stuff (Ruined a pair of pants). Ran into some good people but a lot of @#$%& wantabe stars. Glad I did it but never again!
Got it at Barnes & Noble on Wedsday. Took it to work and the other guys ended up reading it! Couldn't get it back until today!

They are almost identical to the US WWII overcoat. Same color and cut. The fabric is slightly rougher and the 1/2 belt in the back is slightly different.

Reminds me off the hairy Buffalo parties my rugby team had at collage. Everyone brought a bottle of something. :eek: Mixed it all together and :beer: Did more damage than the game did. Thank goodness we were young and hard to kill!

Reenacting as I see it
I'll venture a post as I have been involved in reenacting for a bit now. (But I am new to this forum)
