Flat slider sling and lockbar sight, forged trigger guard...winter of '44?

One does wonder if there is any point in the soldier wearing the helmet in the manner in which he is?

[Bob Womack]

Not being fined by Patton? It's all I've got.

Easiest way to carry it is wear it.

[Tom in N.J.]

If he is in the Third Army he had better have his tie done up under that scarf...

Side note on the steel helmet...if you're wearing all the winter stuff you delete the liner and just use the shell. Then it fits perfectly and still provides the fragmentation protection it's supposed to. Most importantly, it doesn't look like a bell on top your mellon...

[Flying10uk]

If he had a heavy tree branch land on top of his helmet he'd probably never get that helmet off because it would be permanently rammed on fully.
