So guys/girls i've this awesome image of US soldiers mortar unit.but there's an itch i cannot scratch and its been bugging me for a lifetime,well since collecting really.if you look at the guy standing on the right he has what appears to be a neoprene band running over the top of his M1 steel pot.
Q1-why was it worn like this?
Q2-how did the liner fit if the band was running across the centre of the pot?
Iv'e seen images taken at the Bulge wearing them the same way.
I cannot find any info on this type of band being worn in this manner.
so if anyone has any idea's on the above then please help and stop my itch.
thank you.
Check out the awesome hand made net worn by the foreground soldier.
