Something similar Philip.

Who wore white belts, any number.


Label it "Unknown spoof photo" and turn to the next puzzle  :)

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Looks like a 1916 economy jacket. Reason there's no cap badge is he didn't have one, afraid this is a spoof photo. Ignore it.

Well he must have borrowed the cap and presumably there would have been a badge .Why remove it.?
It all seems a bit daft.
I ‘ll bet he was in the Church Lads’ Brigade,they wore white belts, but only on Sunday mornings when on parade. ;D
Just looked it up,they wore white bandoliers ,not belts.
I have slapped my wrists.

Should perhaps have said - the uniform has no distinguishing marks that would help identify the regiment or the man.

That was not my meaning, as it was said ,quote :- that any number wore a white belt I thought that poster might have been able to say which regiments did wear white belts .
Not that particular regiment as there are no distinguishing features to identify anything by the uniform and nothing to identify the person either.

Wow, never thought it would cause so much debate. Seems it creates more questions than answers. Thank you all for your input everyone.

Viktoria.

My imprecise language seems to be getting me in trouble again.  Rephrasing - White belts were worn in certain orders of dress by a number of regiments, many of which had the same centre to the belt buckles as seen on the attachment.  Others had centres specific to the regiment.  From this picture I (and obviously others) cannot identify a regiment.

In the context “that poster”meant the poster who posted that post,nothing more,to differentiate them from other posters.
No offence meant.
