16-295 Garand Picture of the Day-Second Armored Division

[Bob Womack]

Ah, the rare European camo.

In urban scenes like this I'm always remind of the light moment in the movie, A Bridge Too Far, in which the Brit 1st Para arrive at the Arnhem bridge in the town. Taking cover in a house's door frame, Lt. Col. John Frost looks over at Major Harry Carlyle, nods at the de rigueur foliage in his helmet net, and says, 'You know, I do think we've chosen the wrong camouflage pattern. It's all fine and good for the forest, but I don't think it will do us a bit of good here in the city." Carlyle inquisitively and hilariously looks up and crosses his eyes in an attempt to see his own helmet.
