It must have been more agreeable in many ways and may have saved his life.
Here he is as a new officer.
I have his Sam Browne belt with a sword frog I bought to finish it off.
I also have his spurs.
The leggings, below, strike me as being a garment that could make a fashion comeback.
My other two officer artifacts are my grandfather's binoculars and his mess tin which should have a canvas case and would hang on a leather strap behind a saddle.
The photos in his album speak of happy times.
