WW1 Canadian CEF Newfoundland Regiment Blue Putties NOT MATCHING

This item consists of a pair of blue puttees attributed to the Newfoundland Regiment of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. Puttees were long strips of cloth worn by soldiers around the lower leg from ankle to knee, serving as protective and supportive gear as part of the standard uniform. The puttees offered here are blue in color, a feature associated with the Newfoundland Regiment, and date to the 1914–1918 period. It is important to note that this pair is not matching; differences in length, width, or construction details may be present. Both items show features typical of period manufacture, including woven wool material and signs of age. Such puttees were widely used by infantry units for field service prior to the broader adoption of puttee replacements in later conflicts. This artifact represents the specific uniform details of the Newfoundland Regiment within the CEF during World War I.
