June 1, 20251 yr #1 Poor Portugal, England's oldest ally and she doesn't even get mentioned in our other countries subject... Anyhow, Portugal sent troops to the Western Front and of course to her colonies in Africa during the great war. While she didn't perform so well in most areas, there were many acts of bravery on the part of Portuguese soldiers. As part of Michigan's Military Heritage Museum, we are trying to add uniforms of as many of the WWI participant nations as possible, we currently have 19 nations on full mannequins exhibited. This officer is a copy of the center officer in the painting shown. He features a 1916 rimless Brody, Summer trousers and shirt sleeves with wool officers rank, a haversack and canteen, and an SBR. Perhaps someday we will add an enlisted soldier as well. Scott
