WWI Tommy 10

The back load of wire pickets and barb wire spool were now added to the figure. I have speculated that a length of cotton strap was wound around the pickets several times to secure them and then tied to the front of the figure. There are several WWI photos which show several pickets carried in this manner. Two lengths of metal strips were added to the scene. This would represent guide paths for any movement through a trench wire area.
