TLeo Posted February 21, 2010 Share #51 Posted February 21, 2010 The neatest part of this was that Alan's grandfather was also 2/2/2! What are the odds!?! He said he had spotted Alan's 2nd Marine Div patch. Really neat guy and a definite high point of the weekend.I thought this was cute. Clearly he doesn't know me. Those are all great re-enactor photos and great stories from a couple vets there too. A surprising coincidence here....I have a uniform that belonged to a vet that was in G Co. of 2nd Bttn, 2nd regt. at Guadalcanal. Wonder if they knew each other???

D.A.T. Posted April 1, 2010 Share #56 Posted April 1, 2010 @fortworthgal, looking good, my sister was in the Corps in the late `60's, I've been trying to get her to send me a picture of her back then, she say's NO WAY, what a shame. Here's some pictures I took last summer in Switzerland, I think the camo looks pretty good in some of these pictures, or maybe I'm just patting myself on the back.

D.A.T. Posted April 2, 2010 Share #58 Posted April 2, 2010 Thanks, I guess I just get lucky sometimes, I'm not a good picture taker. Here's a couple more taken in Switzerland, 2008, Marthalen, http://dodge-wc.blogspot.com/2008/08/marthalen08.html I'm the old chubby guy on the left.

Corpsmancollector Posted April 14, 2010 Share #59 Posted April 14, 2010 These are superb, ladies and gents! I LOVE your Tarawa set up D.A.T., reminds me of a similar impression I did a couple of years back. I'll have to get some photos up here soon, I'm being slack!

Corpsmancollector Posted July 7, 2010 Share #74 Posted July 7, 2010 Hey guys, Some more superb USMC impressions! justinwjolly, that's an impressive hoard of marines there, were you portraying a particular campaign? Here's one more of me, from last month. 2nd Raider Battalion, during the Makin raid of August 1942: Sorry it's so small, I was having trouble with re-sizing. My uniform and equipment was as follows: P41 dungarees M1 FB helmet with burlap helmet cover camouflaged with dark OD paint Pistol belt with M36 suspenders (favoured my raiders at Makin) 5 cell Thompson mag pouch with mags and rounds P2 canteen cover and canteen Collins Number 18 'Gung Ho' bowie knife 1918 dated grenade vest (the few photos that were taken during the raid, show marines wearing these) M1928A1 Thompson sub-machine gun 'Rough out' hunting boots with sea-boot stockings (Carlson ordered a number of pairs of 'Raider boots' prior to Makin and were a dark brown leather hunting boot with steel toe-caps) Enjoy!
