Chris Boonzaier Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I am sure this guy is not a jäger... from the boots... is it mounted?
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 This one definatley not a Jäger... and idea from the shoulderboard?
Chip Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Chris, Both are Telegraphists. The strap has "T1" on it. If you are referring to the straps across the front of the boot, it is probably for a Fußschoner, a nifty little contraption that tightened the boot around the ankle so the wearer would not get blisters as easily and would not have his boot pulled off in the mud.

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks, that is what I was guessing. Best Chris
Thomas W Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 You can also tell they're telegraphists by the Kar 98AZ and pioneer cartridge pouches.
