[Timothy-R]

Those are the top of his M1943 double buckle combat boots.



Common practice to have a clip or two where they can be had quickly, those are on the strap for that bag at his hip. Many slipped one on their rifle sling.

Thanks I see it now….two straps going over his left shoulder. At first it looked like just one strap to me and that the back of the en-bloc was magically attached to it. I see how the second strap threads through the rounds.

Thanks
Tim
