gauthieb3sxz Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share #26 Posted April 26, 2011 Here's a neat one. One of the vets I talked with told me about using netting from the trucks as a makeshift helmet netting. Pretty cool example of it right here! A closer crop.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gauthieb3sxz Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share #29 Posted April 26, 2011 Very nice photo's, keep them coming.Looks like the soldier to the right has a knife or dagger in his boot. In response to your keen observation............ it looks like a German boot knife!

Bugme Posted April 26, 2011 Share #32 Posted April 26, 2011 As a helmet guy, I can really appreciate the photo's showing a double net set up.
