Interesting Photograph

While looking through some loose photos of my Grandfather and Great-Grandfather who were in World War One, I found this picture, which stood out.

Hi Sean,

He was a paratrooper. Any chance of a close up?

Hey Des,
No Paras in my family (no participants in WW2) but I'm sure my GreatGrandfather was interested enough to tke a pic of this gent.
I will try a close-up.

Sean, wonderful picture!
I'm sure that paratrooper's sergeant major was more than pleased about his shoe shine job!
Cheers, Luc
Btw, is he wearing gloves?

[Sean.E]

Of note

Sean,
Thanks for sharing the photo ..

Of "Technical" note ....
.. Interesting to see he's wearing gloves , I wonder what type ?
Also, the trousers look to be non-airborne pattern ...
.. And a web strap helmet

Nice photo, thanks for the close up Sean Sorry I misread/understood your initial post. I thought you meant the photo was your grandfather. Very nice.

Thanks for all the comments! I would assume this man is with the 1stCAnPara, were they ever in Vancouver B.C?

Thanks,
Sean
