An Austrian Sapper, the name sapper taken from the French word sappe meaning spade. These soldiers were in fact military engineers who would dig covered trenches to approach the walls of a fortress that was under siege. Sapper is in new unused unopened condition and I bought the booklet in used but good condition to accompany the Sapper as it contains a lot of interesting information.
