They are dressed for winter training.

Well, for cross country skiing anyway...

I managed to find, as far as I can tell, an unissued Rucksack. They are nice.

mittens

I'm thinking the left man has trigger mitts on but can't tell. The right is wearing the work mitt liner and the center glove liners, but not just standard ones I don't think. The work mitts had a small leather outer, we used to get them issued too. I still have a set I think...

Col Oliver North had a show on the Mountain Divisions last night.
There losses in Italy were horrendous.
