Introducing myself as a new re enactor

Hi Ashorty97
Just a point.
Straps and buckles of gaiters go to outside of leg,otherwise you will be forever tripping over yourself

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Hi yes I had just put them on quickly that day as I didn't have much time but thanks anyway

 

Great stuff.... welcome to the Forum.....................

 

thanks im looking forward to talking to people who have similar interests as me.

 

Ohh yh oops only just noticed that now haha

 

The Cartridge Carriers are wrong too, aren't they?

 

The helmet looks like a post war mk4 not a mk3 anyway. I'll stop there other than to say the person who advised you on that kit and how to wear it should join!

Welcome to the forum, hopefully it can help you better understand the role you have taken on.

Nobody advised me on the kit I have just been really in to ww2 all of my life but thanks anyway

 

As Owen says you ask as much as you like forum members will help you
your doing a grand job

I'd suggest getting MkII or MkIII universal pouches, sorting out your chest respirator (looks like NWE so it was wildly obsolete by then). Also get the dressing out of your helmet... massive re-enactorism! Swap the SMLE for a No4 and get a small pack (not large pack) high on your back

I recommend finding a group that actually knows what they are doing, I can list a few, but most are absolutely worse than useless. Taking on good advice, doing plenty of unit specific HW and going from there
