Great collection. The 325 DIs are great, being the "older" model with the border. I would replace the chevrons. Just truly a nice collection and thanks for sharing. -

Thank you! The garrison cap is a stunner, I think the whole thing is German made. -

A nice patch. I had one similar that belonged to a WAC in post War China. They were made of silk and you could unsnap them for cleaning the wool uniform. -

. Father and Son 'Then and Now ' fifty years apart. In 1976 the MVCG group took two hundred privately owned WWII military vehicles on a trip through Normandy to Paris. Bill Millin joined us on that trip he was the famous bagpipe player who landed on D-Day and played the pipes leading Lord Lovat's Commandos from the beach to Pegasus bridge to relieve the Ox & Bucks glider troops that captured the bridge. 1976 was one of the hottest summers on record, we spent several hours parked in the centre of Paris, our vehicles already hot from the drive became hotter with several hours of sunshine on them. When the convoy was ready to move several of the vehicles had starting problems mine included, the starter motor engaged the fly-wheel but became stuck on the flywheel, whilst I tried to fix it, our friend Bill Millin circled around the Jeep playing a lament for the ' dead ' Jeep. Today in Carentan at the Longest Yarn exhibition I had the opportunity to re-construct that scene with John Millin the son of Bill Millin. Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 04 June 2O26. .. -
