SCIENCE | HISTORY | KNOWLADGE on Instagram: "🪖 How to Wrap Puttees Like Early 20th Century Soldiers • Puttees are long strips of cloth worn around the lower leg for protection and support. • Popular in the early 20th century, especially during World War I. • They prevented mud, debris, and insects from entering boots. • Start by anchoring the bottom of the puttee just above the ankle. • Wrap the cloth tightly and evenly around the leg, overlapping slightly each turn. • Continue wrapping upward
