Italian artillery colours ww1

[JeffNNN]

Does anyone have a good colour suggestion for the Italian artillery pieces in the First World War?

Not sure if this site will be helpful, but it does show a vintage picture of what looks like a mountain gun. Hard to tell the exact color though.

Here's a better picture of the mountain gun from above.

This collector figure model shows the gun ot be a sand color.

Thankfully someone answered sensibly before we got the inevitable 'something something with white flag attached' answer!

Certainly in WW2 Italian artillery fought very bravely

When in doubt... paint it grey.

The story I get from a number of first hand observers is that WWII Italians were no cowards, but had no enthusiasm for fighting what they didn't consider a war worth winning. I'd call that intelligence and integrity, myself.

Admittedly, I've also heard the stereotype comment on Italian soldiers from a friend who's been one.

As a general rule I tend not to ridicule anyone what's actually been shot at.

The Italians weren't bad soldiers, just had bad leaders. They surrender en masse during Compass because the British cut off their water supplies.

Contemporary drawings shows dark grey-green?

An even better ethic.

Even Donald Trump?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Has Trump ever had an idea ?

Even Donald Trump?

I have resisted ridiculing him
His competence and the ideas he has adopted from others on the other hand

But let us not delve too deeply into politics
