Paul39,

Those double buckle army boots you were issued were the M1943 model!!!They were meant to replace the regular Army Garrison boot and the rough out M1942 boot. And to replace those ridiculous M1938 Leggings that were a disaster to lace up!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
