Remembered Today:

Interesting 08 belt fastening method

Recommended Posts

I have been loaned this photograph of the Isle of Wight Rifles, which I think is just post war (Mods please be tolerant).  All the lads in the photo have their belts fastened with the tongue wrapped around the chape in a method I have not seen before in any other photo of the Rifles, nor anybody else.  So did the lads do this for their group picture, is this a recognised method of belt fastening that I haven't picked up on yet, are there any other pics of the same style out there?  Thoughts please!
