trenchtrotter Posted 5 June , 2011 Share Posted 5 June , 2011 Hi, Generally early Spring 1916, priority going to troops at Verdun. Next priority was the Somme though few wore them in July 1916, the picklehaulbe still being worn. Some 260,000 had been issued by July 1916 and some units never recieved them till as late as 1918....rear echelon and eastern front! TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
