Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
so to start i would like to say i did make a boo boo with the cover i ordered it off a site called USMCBLUES but like an idiot failed to ask them if they were the new or old type before i placed the order so when it turned up it turned out to be the new type :p but im going to make do with what Ive got & it looks OK for display cool militaria Ive also taken the liberty of emulating the use of cable ties as goggle retention devices let me know what ya think is it cool militaria or notcool .
here’s how it was when i got it
The liner was repainted post war and has post war applied 11th Airborne decals. It is named as well and my research shows the soldier enlisted in 1946. However, I was able to locate his death certificate (from Fort Brag in the 1960’s when he was still in service) and his lists his service start date as 1944. So I assume his 1946 enlistment was his second. I’ve sent away for his records which will hopefully shed some light on his service.
In any case, I hope you enjoy the photos!
