Any military collectors that know the real tradition of those?
Also I noticed the leggings. Many soldiers wore wrappings between their breeches and shoes. Again, I don't know the significance of that, but I have looked at hundreds of photos. I am not an expert, even though I have a mostly complete Medic uniform from WWI. It even has a blood stain on the tunic pocket.
Great photo! Thank you.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
