19MJR91 Posted November 30, 2014 Share #976 Posted November 30, 2014 This bridge coat is named to the same officer, but it's dated 1919. I'd love to get one of the earlier style bridge coats one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124cav Posted November 30, 2014 Share #978 Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks for the kind words 2ad82recon I seem to pretty good at shutting down threads. Well spotted on the trench knife. The blokes with the halftrack may be from the 1st Armored. Noone seems to know and the bloke that found the picture cant recall the caption. As you may know i collect mainly horse and mule stuff so this ipression was justa happy accident. Regards Sam Hey 124th great half track crew picture...i can see where "Brad" got his mojo for Furys "Wardaddy" now..:-) nice M1918 MK1 "Knucks" knife on the leg of his cav boots Regards LLoyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124cav Posted December 2, 2014 Share #985 Posted December 2, 2014 112th Cavalry Trooper,HQ Troop The helmet doubled as drink bottle for the horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124cav Posted December 2, 2014 Share #986 Posted December 2, 2014 The helmet is worn on the gas mask bag while the trooper grooms his mount. The 112th wore a mix of coveralls and 1st model HBT two piece suits with a mix of daisy may hats and caps. Campaign hats went overseas but aside from parades and guard detail didn't see much bush time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124cav Posted December 2, 2014 Share #987 Posted December 2, 2014 Another trooper from the 112th This time a rifle man. Everything in the photo is original and pre 1943 dated. Not visible is the 1917 revolver holster. The 112th had a high percentage of revolvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer1 Posted January 28, 2015 Share #988 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow, I like this cavalry impression. Very nice. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer1 Posted January 28, 2015 Share #989 Posted January 28, 2015 Well, as a newby it is time for a picture, only I don't have any recent pictures of me in a uniform within the scope of this forum. So I dug these old ones up. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Grenadierke/Gouvy1983.jpg It was taken in 1981, on route to the Ardens, again. In those days, we still wore the original gear and uniforms. I believe I'm still wearing a Belgian army helmet at the time though. Note the 29th division patch, which very soon became my favourite division to portray in those days. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Grenadierke/1-3-2013_027.jpg This picture was taken in 1988 at a public event. Again focus on the 29th division, with group members vehicles and tac signs to the 121st combat engineers. Days long gone I'm afraid. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D Posted January 28, 2015 Share #990 Posted January 28, 2015 Nice impression, is the patch original to the jacket? 29 lets go! -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer1 Posted January 29, 2015 Share #991 Posted January 29, 2015 No, helas. I only had 1 Ike jacket, that was also named, with original 29th patch but I have no documentation anymore. Back in those days you could pick up original M41 jacket at low price, and sewn your own patch on them, which was common practice. I had quite a number of original 29th patches too. Have only a few left now. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D Posted January 29, 2015 Share #992 Posted January 29, 2015 If you still have the jacket, message me and I might be able to get you information on the soldier. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer1 Posted January 30, 2015 Share #993 Posted January 30, 2015 Dave, unfortunately I sold my entire US 1917-1918 / 1940 - 1945 collection 20 years ago, including Jeep and Dodge. So I have no idea were the IKE jacket ended up. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted February 16, 2015 Share #998 Posted February 16, 2015 Nice that they let you into the Mustang. I've gotten to do that few times in the past but it isn't common that a P-51 owner will let you into the cockpit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
