    "some photos I took a couple of years ago from the Greek armored cruiser Georgios Averof from her visit to Thessaloniki. Averof was the flagship of Greek navy during the Balkan Wars, WWI, and WWII. At 23,5 kn, she was a very fast ship, heavily armed. The Ottomans called her 'Devil Ship'."

    Those boots look large enough such that the lad could possibly get both of his feet into one.
    I would imagine that clothing small enough to fit him would be quite sparse out on the sharp end of the sword.
    I wonder what became of the orphans after the war? Adopted by a soldier, placed in an orphanage, left to his own devices?

    It is a flammenwerfer (flame thrower) Panzer IIIM.
