robinb Posted November 29, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 29, 2015 In the last photo, the soldier on the left. You can see the large snap hook from his M1912 experimental cartridge belt just above his legging. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchbuff Posted November 30, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 30, 2015 That photo has it all! Can you imagine trying to put together a display with all that gear today? It would be quite a challenge. Great photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagjetta Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted November 30, 2015 I'd love to have one of those sweaters. I've only seen a handful over the years.... MAW: I THINK this is the same type of sweater (two pockets on skirt) worn by "George McMichael." i don't think I have EVER seen one in real time, though.
