Not a favorite line from this movie, but a disturbing one.   Paths of Glory   Enraged at the total and complete failure of his ill conceived attack on a German fortified position and subsequent retreat from the field , the  Brigadier General Paul Mireau shouts at a staff officer   "If those little sweethearts won't face German bullets, they'll face French ones!"

Thank you very much for the information. Is it possible if you could tell me more about the military police enlisted uniform and the gear they were when on duty?   Thanks

It has been a long dry spell on DCUs at all for me (six months), but had good luck earlier today at a surplus store I don't get to often.   1st Lieutenant, Chemical Corps, with a FORSCOM current assignment.   CWO2, no name tape, but it did have a theater-made (you can see the white cloth peeking out in the closeup) 500th Military Intelligence Group SSI.   Also interesting, a single stripe Airman with Meteorologist Badge and a funky CENTAF patch of a style that I have loose in my collection as well.   Last but not least, Adjutant General Lieutenant Colonel with CENTCOM current assignment and a 5th Infantry Division combat patch from Panama!  First thing I pulled out of the bin.

Yes,, occasionally, and I might add the troops themsevles when on a pass in the theater, not just England but in France, Italy, behind the lines, way behind the lines, places like Naples, Rome, etc, Paris, this of course after these places were liberated, but not in Gdermany while the war was on going in 1945, passes were taken in France or Belgium,

Didn't the military police corps also wear the 4 pocket tunic and full dress uniform while overseas on base when on duty?

Thanks for the information and photos. Do you know what the soldier's gear in the first photo was using?  In the second photo (Anti Aircraft Battery), did the soldier's just wear a cartridge belt and gas mask bag? What other web gear would the soldier wear (if they do)? Any idea is the gas mask bag was required to be worn?   Many thanks
