Infanterist
Infanterist – was the designation to the lowest private rank of infantry, the biggest armed forces branch of the common Austro-Hungarian Army from 1867 to 1918.
However, until 1918 Infanterist was also the common or generic designation to soldiers, rank independent, of the Infantry branch in the Austro-Hungarian Army as well as in the Army of the German Empire.
In line to the appropriate branch of service it did belong to the so-called Gemeine rank group, comparable to private, soldier or G.I. in Anglophone armed forces. Other Gemeine ranks were as follows:
- Dragoner,
- Füsilier,
- Grenadier,
- Husar,
- Infanterist
- Kanonier,
- Musketier, etc.
- Pionier
- Sanitätssoldat
- Trainsoldat
- Ulan
