The Belgian army included 14 infantry line regiments, 3 rifle, 2 carabinieri and 1 grenadier regiments. The total number of Belgian armed forces mobilized for hostilities was 375,000. The uniform of the Belgian infantry at the beginning of the war was considered insufficiently adapted to the conditions of modern combat, which later became the reason for changes in the appearance of the soldiers.
