What's very interesting is that it's the only photo I've found showing the tan roughout leather Ghillie Brogues seen being worn by several gents in The Highlanders Of Scotland.
There, only one pair of black Ghillie Brogues is seen.
I'm sure there's a similar image of Kaiser Wilhelm wearing the same/a similar outfit, perhaps borrowed for a photo opportunity?
Apologies, had I read further then I would have realised Figheadar had already covered that...
