Flanders mud flaps, post WW1 use.

[AD-4NA]

Thanks for the feedback guys. So we have no reason to doubt the attributed 1938 date.

I seem to remember that the flaps were declared obsolete after WW1?

To me, this suggests a TA unit, they would have older rifles and flaps would possibly still be 'on a dusty ​shelf'.

It suggests a photographic opportunity with their full bore rifles.

Service Dress and Service caps at that date might indicate that too, right?
Those other two photos are differently WWII period, interesting.

It should be remembered that service dress and peaked caps were issued up until 1964 in boys regiments; having said that these lads look a bit older than 15 or 16.
