How to Wrap Puttees

Before the dress parade I also wanted to research how to wrap the puttees. I discovered that there are many different sites for people who are re-enactors or just history buffs and these sites and discussion boards let me to this website: http://www.hardscrabblefarm.com/80th/putting_on_puttees.htm
This site has a great tutorial on how to wrap puttees. I've taken note of some of the images and directions to take with me for the dress parade. I also found these images that I thought were helpful and interesting for puttee research and is my goal for wrapping the puttees tomorrow:
