Bram.T Posted February 21, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2013 Hello everyone,I have already read a lot of topics on this forum but i have never posted anything untill today, so I thought that it would be a good idea to start with a topic about my collection.I try to focus my collection on the personal items that the common GI could have carried with him during the war. I also collect 35th Inf. Div. items, mainly because I am a member of a reenactment group called the 35th Infantry Division Belgium.So here it goes: Link to post Share on other sites

Bram.T Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted February 21, 2013 My latest project:I'm trying to make a display that is based on the first GI in this photo of the 35th Inf. Div. in Lutrebois (near Bastogne).Since it's not that clear what equipment he is wearing, i have improvised a little. I still need a second medic brassard, a litter and a pair of Shoe Pacs to finish this project. Link to post Share on other sites

67Rally Posted February 21, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 21, 2013 That is a very tasteful display. I would love to do something along these lines for PTO sailors (shipboard and shoreside)...but that is a spendy endeavor. Link to post Share on other sites

carbinephalen Posted March 29, 2013 Share #17 Posted March 29, 2013 A VERY clean and well organized display room! LOVE IT! I enjoy seeing collections pertaining to one Division or unit. I will keep my eye out for 35th Division items for you! Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpin Jack Posted March 29, 2013 Share #18 Posted March 29, 2013 Hello Bram, What I like about our Belgium collector friends is their attention to detail, and well defined collections. I live in the land of the 35th Infantry Division (Kansas), but being a general collector, I don't zero in on material of the 35th. You have done very well!
