Regarding the photo of the Bofors in the Belgian Congo, it would seem that footwear (Boots-Combat MK1) were optional for the local forces.
Of the three feet that are visible in the photo, none are shod and I did use a magnifying glass.
And we think we have military budget problems.
As I know little about Bofors guns, I thought this was at least a reasonable contribution to the thread.
Cheers
