I hope this is the right sub-forum for this question. I have noticed some folks wear their hose garter tabs on the front of their leg, as in on the shin, rather than on the side. Is this just personal preference, or is there some tradition behind it? Did one of the regiments wear them that way?

Thanks to any and all. Not trying to start a discussion on what is proper or not, just curious about the different method of wear.
