Unknown Wolf Cubs: Image 2 (The 1950s)


Figure 1.--Here we see an unidentifuied Cub, probably in the 1950s. He is a very new Cub as he hasn't earned any rank or other badges. He wears the classic peaked cap. Unfortunately we have no idea what color the uniform was. The shirt and shorts look to be the same color, but black-and-white can be misleading in this regard. British Cubs wore grey shorts, but this was less common in other countries. The snapshot is undated, but looks like the 1950s to us.

Here we see an unidentified Cub, eatly decked out in a brand new uniform. The snapshot is undated, but looks like the 1950s to us. He is a very new Cub as he hasn't earned any rank or other badges. He wears the classic peaked cap. Unfortunately we have no idea what color the uniform was. The shirt and shorts look to be the same color, but black-and-white can be misleading in this regard. British Cubs wore grey shorts, but this was less common in other countries. MMany countries did adopt the green jumpers worn by British Cubs. The neckerchief was very small. The shirt or top seems to be done in Rugby style, rather like a tunic. Note the Wolf Cub emblem on the shirt. Note he wears his belt over his shirt. That was a style we saw in the 1920s and 30s with German and other European youth groups. It was a military style. He has long short pants witn turn-over-top knee socks with volored bands and harter tabs. We would guess that he might be German or perhaps Belgian, but we are not at all sure. The house and back yard looks rather American, but the uniform does not. This brings Canada to mind, but we have not seen Canadian Cubs wearing shirts like that. This leaves Europe. He clearly is not British. This leaves a small number of Western European countries. Hopefully our readers will be able to identify the uniform and tell us what country is involved here.
