<p><font size="5">Belgian Infantryman, Western Front, 1917</font></p><p><font size="5">作者:andyshepart</font></p><p><span class="postbody">From the first battles of August 1914 it was clear that the archaic shako and ventral cartridge pouch of the Belgian Infantryman were unsuitable for the conditions of modern warfare. At the end of 1914 the infantry who fought on the Yser received a simplified uniform, but this was purely transitional while a completely new uniform and equipment were prepared. <br/>In 1915 the new appearance of the Belgian infantryman was settled. It was clearly inspired partly by that of the French soldier, and both helmet and the gasmask were supplied by France. The uniform was made of a khaki serge procured from Britain, however; and the equipment, very similar to the British M1908 pattern, was made in Britain by the Mills company. The Belgian infantryman thus presented a compromise between the outfits adopted by Belgium's two protecting allies. <br/>(Taken from WW1 Infantry in Colour Photographs, Europa Militaria) <br/></span></p>
