Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted June 25, 2017 Share #49 Posted June 25, 2017 another taken by forum member noexpert, I can't believe I just found this thread today, he has some very great and powerful photos and sketches, go check it out: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/108817-found-collection-of-vn-combat-art-negatives-contact-sheets/ When looking at some of his photos you can see how these vests came to be, with troops wearing bandoleers around their waist, why not sew it to a shirt so you don't have to tie it on every day. Plus some really cool pictures of guys wearing Chinese SKS bandoleers and AK chest rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted June 25, 2017 Share #50 Posted June 25, 2017 25th Infantry division, 1966. From this thread: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16371&hl=M79+Grenade+Vest from the book "Tropic Lightning 25th Infantry Division, 1 Oct. 1941-1 October 1966 (The 25th's 25th in Combat)" There are more photos in the book, if somebody who has the book could post the rest that would be great.
