I am reading a book called the horse soldier 1917 to 1943 uniforms arms accoutrements. one page shows a trooper around 1942 on horseback the 1905 bayonet was attached to his cartidge belt suspenders so that it was behind his right shoulder and across his back. it was carried this way to keep the bayonet from interfering with the trooper in the saddle. how was the bayonet attached to the suspenders? were these a special type of suspenders if so are they rare?
