Kind Regards, FRISCAN The Marauders used 1st pattern HBT up to and including Ramgargh training centres,at Ramgargh they recieved 2nd pattern HBTs for the march.1st model 1 piece suits are spotted in original photos of the 5307th on the march but so far ive not found a snap of 1st pattern shirt or trousers.

Jason G Posted October 14, 2008 Share #57 Posted October 14, 2008 Union Civil War Surgeon after the Battles of South Mountain/Antietam, Sept 1862, inside the Middletown Church that was also used as a Field Hospital. (I did this one for 'Middletown Days' in 2006) I was getting ready to amputate the Cub Scouts leg. (LOL...gotta love the scouts, they'll volunteer for ANYthing) I've been doing Civil War Medical since 2001, both Union and Confederate. Mostly Union these days. I work as a volunteer for the National Museum of Civil War Medicine, in Frederick Maryland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Apathy Posted January 3, 2009 Share #58 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi Friscan & other posters, here is an impression I did a couple of years back, however the photo was taken outdoors today without flash, apologies for the reflection on the glass in the picture frame. Everything in the photo is original equipment, non of the items are reproduction, all good, the M-42 jump suit is original camo painted but not reinforced. Cheers ( Lewis ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nam cat Posted January 4, 2009 Share #60 Posted January 4, 2009 They are some really good impressions! Here are afew of mine, though, I seem to have very few good pics of me in kit.... US Marine 1965 (bit of a wooden shot, think I'd just got all the kit together) L company Ranger, 101st ABN 1969/70 (Again not a great shot, I was on the way to load up the car after a show) 101st ABN Line Infantryman 1968/69 (I think the best one I have, for a 101st display) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_bish Posted January 4, 2009 Share #61 Posted January 4, 2009 The bandoleer in the hem of the jacket is something I've not seen before. Interesting piece. What's the square pouch under the rucksack? a bit ate to reply but the pouches under the ruck are M1956 and M1967 canteen covers, one filled with a canteen and one with 20rd magazines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted January 6, 2009 Share #64 Posted January 6, 2009 With the guys, in the Ardennes, Feb 08. I'm kneeling at the front. Can not begin to tell you how kanckered we were after carrying two m1919a6's 18 miles around the Belgian countryside. Experiences like that give me a total respect for what the guys did 60 odd years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtbrown Posted January 7, 2009 Share #72 Posted January 7, 2009 I posted a couple photos of my Airdale impression early on in this thread. Here are two more. First shows me as a parachute rigger working on a harness in an AAF Personal Equipment Officer's equipment shack. The second shows me as diving officer on the USS Cod (the only WWII submarine in the US that is still in original WWII condition). A group of us serve as guides when the Cod does its big annual show.

Rifleman_D Posted January 11, 2009 Share #74 Posted January 11, 2009 These were some pictures I took to send to a vet who was in the Aredennes during the battle of the bulge, though my impression is set up for 5th Rangers E Co. Rifle is all SA 6-42 except the stock and sling. Uniform is all repro via at the front, I'm just too darn big for the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
