That answers the puzzle, and once again points out the eccentricity of British officers' field dress.

Exactly so, and of course not forgetting, a certain future Prime Minister's non issue tin helmet in WW1, or the broad sword and longbow( both used to good effect in WW2 by a certain very adventurous Officer), or the personal Mannlicher deer stalking rifle carried by a certain well known British Brigadier and Earl, or the two Highland Gentlemen who wore their kilts whilst successfully operating behind enemy lines(different areas), or the undeniably wacky Brigadier that had a penchant for wearing no clothes at all save for a large alarm clock worn around the neck, the list goes on!

Or the General (eventually Field Marshal) who liked to wear two cap badges!

Well at least he could not complain (I don't think he did)if others under his command adjusted their regulation attire a tad!

While not in Germany I have photos of soldiers of the London Scottish (including my late wifes uncle ) in Egypt in WW2 wearing the kilt right up to 1945 unfortunately I am too stupid to be able to post them here
