Tom Kibler Posted June 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2020 Just thought it would be a good discussion. These images were taken as they landed on the island of Angaur, Palau Islands, two days after the 1st Marine Div. landed on Peleliu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted June 1, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 1, 2020 There is a excellent you tube video called action on angaur it is really good and it shows lots of these helmets, actually I think they are stills from that movie. What other PTO units had camo?Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted June 2, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 2, 2020 At least a couple of the regiments if not all of the 27th Infantry Division made extensive use of camouflage painted helmets on Saipan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
