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.
