Research Notes

Notes

These are likely to be M1917 Service Wool Breeches. Made out of heavy wool and reinforced on the thighs and seat, these breeches were designed to endure the rigors of long marches and trench warfare. They were a part of the standard uniform for American Expeditionary Forces during World War I.
