Is anyone able to give a rough date (year) on this photo going by the battledress pattern.
At first I thought 37 pattern but can’t see any definite pleats on the pockets although the buttons appear to be hidden. Pleats on the German uniforms are more obvious.
My knowledge of battledress is very poor to say the least, I was hoping this would fit in with my Dunkirk photos but without a guesstimate date I imagine it could be any time in France (1940, a raiding party between then and June 1944, or afterwards), Belgium or Holland.
The lack of bling on the Germans is also making me think early war and the blurred soldier at the back may be French or Belgian as it looks like he has long putties.
Thanks for any help.
Tony
