The marine in the photo seem to have a mix of m1898 ammo pouchs and 1909 ammo pouchs.
Was this normal later in the war?.

Fallschirmjäger,

I am writing a book on the landunits of Marinekorps Flandern, with plenty of unpublished fotos and maps, unfortunately it will be in Flemish.

To bad,is this soon though too?,like is there any other books in english on the german marines in WW1 or there total history at all,but then if there older books they would be out of print though.
