Default 6th City of London Rifleman - White Gloves

I shouldn't think he's on his way to referee a snooker match, so why might this rifleman be carrying white gloves?



With thanks,

JT

Maybe he didn't want to leave fingerprints if he went on a trench raid
Nice pic though mate,

Or maybe he's secretly been 'rifling' through the CO's office safe!

Perhaps they are just to keep his hands warm, they may not be White.

Would/should he have a drummer's badge, or were they not always issued/worn?

For once I suspect you are incorrect, I don't think they're white gloves.

I believe he's been a naughty boy and been consigned to washing up duties.............Marigolds.............hence the wry smile.

See you in a few days mate.

Toot toot and roll of drums.

Regard.
