Trench Raid December 14 1917

[Chip]

Not trying to be a nit-picker, but just for informational purposes, the button on shown on the shoulder strap is a hip pocket button. Technically, the button should be a painted M15 version, but you do occasionally find M15 shoulder straps being worn on the M10/15 simplified uniforms. However, these uniforms would have had left over brass or painted steel company numbered buttons, not crown buttons. Of course, anything is possible in wartime, but this would not have been regulation wear.

Sorry for the two year wait.

Over the next days I will finish Otto Lais' report of the Baden 169er Trench Raid on December 14, 1917.
