U.S. Uniform not what it seems.
Permalink   

Been having a browse through the main site and noticed this in the article on U.S. Uniforms http://www.landships.freeservers.com/us_unifs_in_ww1.htm

The pic of troops with Chauchats isn't of Americans. They're Belgians.

The webbing is the late War, British-made pattern with 4 cartridge pouches in a 1-over-3 arrangement, and the cap has a tassel at the front that means it's not the U.S. Overseas Cap but the khaki bonnet de police.

The article isn't attributed, but I hope the author doesn't mind my pointing this out.
