Army. Established in 1816 by Emperor Franz I, before the First World War the Tyrolean\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0Regiment fought in theatres of war in Italy, Hungary, and Bosnia. They proved themselves time and again in battles at Novara, Magenta, Solferino and Custozza to name just a few. After the regiment was regrouped into four in 1895, the\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0retained their elite character and continued to serve as a military training ground for Austrian archdukes. During the First World War, the\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0were deployed in Galicia, Romania and the Dolomites, where the heavily contested mountains Monte Piano, Col di Lana and Lagazuoi, as well as the Pasubio massif, went down in history as the \u2018<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0mountains\u2019. The imperial couple Karl and Zita, in particular, rewarded the loyalty of the\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0with a lifelong bond.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, this richly illustrated book covers the 200-year history, uniforms, equipment and traditions of the Tyrolean<em>\u00a0Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>. The multifaceted portrayal ranges from important personalities and their careers and awards, through armament and commemorative culture to the experiences of\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0in the First World War. A prominent place is also given to the memorial site on the Bergisel as well as the Tyrolean\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0Museum, which today preserves the history of the\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0and makes it accessible to the public. Further chapters show how the\u00a0<em>Alt-Kaiserj\u00e4gerclub,<\/em>\u00a0the\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4gerbund<\/em>\u00a0and the military band the\u00a0<em>Original<\/em>\u00a0<em>Tiroler Kaiserj\u00e4germusik<\/em>\u00a0have kept alive the memory of the Tyrolean\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>\u00a0regiments for over a hundred years and highlight the important role that the Austrian Armed Forces play today in maintaining this heritage.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its wide-ranging presentation, this book is above all characterized by its many illustrations, including objects that have rarely or never been displayed. In particular, the detailed illustrations of uniforms, equipment and decorations reveal new insights into the history of the Tyrolean\u00a0<em>Kaiserj\u00e4ger<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History, Uniforms, Equipment and Upholding Traditions from 1816 until today<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12609,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[241,238,453],"product_tag":[],"test":[],"autoren":[496,505,656,765,954],"class_list":{"0":"post-12596","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-uniformierung-ausruestung_en","7":"product_cat-militaergeschichte-tagebuecher-literatur-en","8":"product_cat-englisch-en","9":"autoren-christian-haager-en","10":"autoren-christian-kofler-en","11":"autoren-ewald-krauss-en","12":"autoren-manfred-schullern-schrattenhofen-en","13":"autoren-wilfried-beimrohr-en","14":"align-center","15":"box-shadow-1","16":"box-shadow-2-hover","17":"ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal","18":"ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal","20":"first","21":"instock","22":"taxable","23":"shipping-taxable","24":"purchasable","25":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=12596"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12596"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12596"},{"taxonomy":"test","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/test?post=12596"},{"taxonomy":"autoren","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.militaria.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/autoren?post=12596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
