No, I agree. This was just the first thing that drew my attention. I knew even when we went to the field we got dirty travelling. I'm not suggesting he dip his rifle in the mud...

Another give away, his boots are not period correct. WWII boots have the slant style heel on the forward edge. I believe that is true up to Korea but not sure on that. Until very recently reproduction boots all had the squared edge heel.

Yeah, when I wore the uniform (Civil Air Patrol) is was a constant struggle to keep things sharp. A day of something as light duty as marshaling planes at the airfield for search and rescue mucked stuff up.
