Cracking pictures there!

Images of any Great War troops in action are quite rare

It's interesting to note that the L/cpl in the second picture is equipped with the P-14 leather equipment.
and the man in the 3rd picture net to the serjeant is wearing the winter goatskin coat, the only item of kit abandoned by the British Army because of the smell...after wearing one for a week i understand why!

From Experience i know that there are thousands of unpublished pictures of the Great war sitting in museum archives, just waiting for somewhat with a lot of time and patience to digitize and publish.

Agreed, there must be countless photos of historical interest sitting in archives and lofts, that people would love to see.

Good input on what the troops were wearing, I would never have known that, 450:good:
