"Typical study of an otherwise battle fatigued, Greek private, ready for outdoors inspection, in 1940. The trooper wears the M1909 uniform that came with polished brick-brown metal buttons, and four pockets (two at chest and two in the waist). The jacket also bore two belt hangers at each side. The cap, is a hard copy of the French Bonne de police of W.W.I, and bears a cloth insignia that includes a roundel cockade with the national colors (blue and white), and the King’s crown in yellow  / gold wire. This particular soldier wears the standard leather belt, a
bayonet  frog, and a short Manlicher carbine bayonet on his left side."
