Hmmmm. Those images are fascinating.<br>
<br>
I ponder if it's a moment when the soldier is either about to grab the helmet, or placing it back on his head?<br>
<br>
But then, you'd have to undo the chinstraps.....They don't seem to be dangling here...And that can get really annoying to undo and redo straps every time a superior comes by.<br>
<br>
...so...Is it possible to be like the modern salute, which was originally a doffing-of-the-hat gesture, but nowadays without actually taking off the hat? (as best I know)<br>
<br>
