The old one? What's your name? What is that brush on the shoulder of the military uniform?

This military uniform is a standard Polish military uniform. It can also be seen from the color (Poland's national color is red and white, and their national flag is also red and white). In addition, the pattern on the buckle of this soldier's belt is the national symbol of Poland, the double-headed eagle. Judging from the style of military uniform, this soldier should be a cavalry. Because, first, the blue dress on his chest is a vest only worn by cavalry, second, his pants are ordinary cavalry pants, and third, his saber is hung very low, so it is not convenient to run if he is an infantry, but riding on a horse can improve his flexibility because of the position of the saber.

The top of this military uniform is called kurtka in Polish, and the other blue vest in front of the top is called plastron in Polish, which evolved from the breastplate of ancient cavalry. The hat on the man's head is called czapka in Polish, which is part of the traditional Polish military uniform, but many armies in Germany and Austria used to wear it. The Polish word for brush epaulettes is naramiennik, which actually refers to epaulettes on modern military uniforms. Just because the times are different, the epaulettes look different. This kind of epaulettes evolved from the shoulder armor of medieval knights. During this period, the shoulder armor has become a burden, but the cavalry still wears it to show their identity. Of course, later, because the war was more complicated, in order to facilitate the concealment of the battlefield and distinguish identity, this epaulette gradually became today's rank.
