" Hegyivadász "
Hegyivadász (Mountain Hunter) is the Hungarian expression for Mountain/Alpine infantry. The troop colours are green just like the regular infantry with the distinction of the Edelweiss flower worn on the side of the field cap. This was the symbol for Mountain/Alpine infantry in the old Austro-Hungarian army as well as the German Mountain/Alpine infantry (Gebirgsjäger). It was also common to wear a field cap with the visor because of the strong sunlight in the higher regions in the mountains. The Visor caps were introduced for the regular army by the end of WW2 as standard, while the Mountain/Alpine infantry had used it for several years.
