German. French nnd English Soldier

German soldiers in saluting their ST.

two other nations named. English sol

some regiments wear little round stiff
caps which were never intended to be
large enough for their heads, so they are
just tipped on the side and held in posi-
ton by narrow leather strap which in
some cases passes under the chin and IN
others Just touches the lower lip. The
caps remind you Of the toy caps worn by
al organ grinders monkey.
The French soldiers arc small in stat

trousers arc far too wide. They might
be- useful in preventing soldiers from
running away, but such baggy breechcs
would also impede their movements in
