Otto and Gsu,
The boots appear to be 1893 pattern side-laced boots worn with some kind of puttees. The jacket looks like a Model 1907 field-gray tunic with Swedish cuffs. That thingummy on the left sleeve is puzzling indeed. Maybe safety pins left over from a bandage or a patched tear in the sleeve?
Skøl!

My guess is that the sleeve insignia is an unofficial unit identification.
I have never seen anything quite like those leggings. They resemble the thin leather of period Russian boots. Too bad we cannot see how they are attached.
One wonders how he manages to smoke with all of those bangages on his face.

Sadly, his lips might still work so he can smoke, his face may be torn to shreds. What a waste.
