Care of the feet on the march

Title
Care of the feet on the march
LC Subject
Armed Forces Soldiers
Description
If the hike is for more than one day each man will carry with him a half a tent which he can combine with his partner’s half and make a small shelter just big enough for two. The shoes seen sticking out of the tent in this view are occupied by the feet of a man whose body is lost to view in the shade of the tent. The main figure in the picture seems self-explanatory — it has been a long hike and involuntarily our sympathies go out to him. Possibly our sympathy is misplaced for he is bathing his feet for the foot inspection, rather than because they are paining him.
