Great photos Joe
Thanks for taking an interest, James!
The M1 camo cover I wore and the snow camo poncho were both cut from a scrap table cloth. No official snow camoflague was issued to US troops so they improvised.
My "jeep cap" is a reproduction made by At the Front. Original examples are quite expensive ($50-$100) and are not something I'd want to ruin with daily use!
thanks joe
This past weekend I was invited to an event at Museum Village in Monroe, NY. We set up in their one room schoolhouse as if we had just pushed the Germans out of an occupied village in March 1945 and were hunkering down in the schoolhouse overnight. We had the fireplace going and cooked our own rations over the hot coals and using a WWII era mini stove. While definitely a combat impression, I took it as an opportunity to represent a weary soldier looking to get some rest. I don't think I put on my cartridge belt or helmet at all during this event.
cool photos joe can i ask what meat it is your eating with the kidney beans ?looks like the stove did a superb jobthanks for the updates
