world war I nerd Posted January 17, 2017 Share #34 Posted January 17, 2017 French Sam, congratulations. You have A LOT of history in that room ... many rare artifacts. I like the fact that you mixed OD with forest green on your seated Navy Corpsman. Since the service breeches and trousers wore out twice as fast as service coats, I suspect that when OD was first introduced to the USMC in France, there must have been quite a few Marines wearing both colors. I've yet to see it in photos, but a very nice detail nevertheless! Link to post Share on other sites
