EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement for Foxs Puttees stockings from 1916. The image showcases a dapper British soldier, standing tall and proud, with his legs wrapped in Foxs Puttees non-fray spiral puttees stockings. The puttees, a type of wraparound leg covering, were an essential part of the military uniform during the First World War. The soldier's uniform, complete with a peaked cap, belt, and boots, exudes a sense of discipline and readiness. The puttees, with their distinctive spiral design, not only protected the soldiers' legs from the harsh conditions of the battlefield but also added a touch of style to their uniform. Foxs Puttees, a well-known brand during that era, promised their stockings to be non-fray, ensuring durability and longevity. The advertisement's tagline, "Foxs Puttees - The Soldier's Friend," highlights the importance of these stockings in the lives of soldiers during the war. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the clothing and uniforms of soldiers during the First World War. The image, with its high-quality detail and authenticity, transports us back to a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the Great War. The puttees' design, though simple, was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time. The spiral wraparound design not only protected the legs but also allowed for ease of movement, making it an essential component of the soldiers' uniform. This photograph is a historical treasure, offering a unique perspective into the past and the role that Foxs Puttees played in the lives of soldiers during the First World War.
