    Hello Chris.

    Thank you for showing these pictures.

    I understand that in WW I with the poison gas introduction severe restrictions on beards were instituted. Gasmasks would not seal properly.

    The # 4 and 9 were apparently determined to catch up with Wilhelm II , ( he with the " es ist erreicht" mustache.)
