Why would you advertise your rank nice shiny bars on the collars! If going in to a hot LZ why would you have no helmet and only tray to ward of bullets! The door gunner looks pretty relaxed and the ammo belt does not look too long either normally would they not have it in a rather large ammo can or was that a latter mod. As a note on advertising ones rank in the first WW officers took to carrying rifles as when they were seen leading their men waving the venerable Webley around the Germansnipers shot them first..........does not pay to advertise
