Milsurp: Do you mean the usual combat clothing and gear or Class A uniforms?

For you Reenactors: If interested I have quite a few of the 6 pocket cloth M-1 bandoleers. About 5 lbs of them. Just pay the actual cost of shipping. Time was when

CMP and DCM sold M-1 ammo in clipped and bandoleered case lots.. We appreciate the job these Reenactors are doing to bring up history. If these run out I believe I can

scout up many more bandoleers.

Yes, please let us know what you need as I may be able to help out. I have a complete Class from late 45 (Ike jacket) Also could get a combat setup if need be with the double buckle boots.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking for the combat set up, late war March '45 and on.

I am looking for a good front shot and a back shot. Anything would be better than what I have now.

If I am correct in my assumptions, and going off what few 76th division photos there are, I believe that the M43 jacket and wool trousers were used. Also, the double buckle boots.

Let me know what you can do, and again, I really appreciate the help.

Try this photo sent to me by Al Kincer. Thanks Al.

This is a reenactors info site. They show the four classes of uniforms here, but alas they are drawings.

Here's Audie Murphy's site. A few photos of him in his class A's

Some of these photos/sites may be better than others, but I will post what I find in the hope that it will help you or someone else who is interested.

Onaway,

have have the gear, are you just neededing the clothing or doyou want someone with the full gear on (haversack etc?)

Full gear if it's not too much trouble. Just like slogging along the road somewhere on the way to Germany.

By the way, thanks everybody for the great photos and links. SOme very interesting stuff there. The large color photo of the 85th Eng. chap is especially nice.

Onaway,

It will be a few days to get everything together. Everything is in storage at the moment since we moved. Full gear it will be.

mec1945, I really appreciate it. You are being a great help. Keep me posted. I will check my profile and see if my e-mail is there, that way you can e-mail me with updates.

j3rdinf, I will take a few of the bandoleers. I have an M1 and it would be a great way of storing my ammo on the clips, and be easier to handle at the range. Let me know what you need from my end.

Milsurp: How many do you want? How is your enblock clip supply for the M-1? Need some clips? Just send your address. No charge. Joe (j3rdinf)
