Looks like your Squaddies have been run over by a tank...

Hi James great to see you here,genius idea to combine the uniforms with matching helmets/covers. I really like the Yugo sniper pattern suit, and of course the 6 colour is an all time favourite of mine and I will be showing my Desert Storm collection soon including that back-pack cover you kindly sent my way, I hope to see you here again.

Oh and I like your Iraqi display you trickster you

Thank you very much James, I know you are a big collector of this conflict, so your recognition of this collection is very much appreciated. The USAF Morrison jacket is the first piece I collected so I feel quite proud to own that one. I forgot to mention that you supplied the gas mask and back pack cover so that should be recognised by all,thanks again.

The Alice webbing and rig was made up from bit's and bob's I collected over a period of time, but the main genuine Gulf war parts were sourced from a fellow collector so have real provenance. The NBC over-boots are very strangely similar to UK equivalents, I have a pair of Chemical protective trousers in Woodland Pattern too, but they are post Gulf War so omitted them.

Check out your PM for your queries buddy.

Here I have a set of 1st issue Desert Camouflage Pattern (3 color ) these are fairly scarce and were issued for Desert Storm for limited services/units. As you can see form the label the Coat is dated 1991,the Trousers 1990. There is a common misconception that during Desert Storm all troops wore 6 Colour
( Choc chips) but as you see that is not the case.
