These young men were obviously training for the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm:

Smoking-Rifle Cleaning, 'Blind' Bayonet Sharpening, Pickelhaube Polishing, Bread Cutting, and Beer Drinking

Life was simpler then!

He 'blinked', due to slow exposure, he is savoring second-hand smoke, or he's 'channeling' with Frederick the Great.
