Default The Blue Puttees

I believe that it was the (Royal) Newfoundland Regiment ( my parentheses) who had this nickname originally in WW1.

The animal featured, was it possibly a Moose/Caribou


48th Highlanders of Canada apparently wore similar items in WW2, and were nicknamed "The Glamour Boys"
