German soldier in marching order, ca. 1917

            Despite that this picture must have been taken somewhere in or after 1917, he is still wearing a leather spiked helmet (with Überzug). We can date the picture as such, as he has the "Stofftasche für Atemeinsatz M17", which carried one respirator cartidge for the German gasmasks. This more or less replaced the Segeltuchtasche, which was a gasmask bag which could carry  both the gasmask and spare filters. This thing is not seen too often.
