It must be pointed out that some WW 1 field gear was used during World War
II. Some examples: canteens,
haversacks and 10-pouch cartridge belts. All
World War II-dated items are fine
for reenacting. Post World War II
items from 1946-50 are also good. In
late 1950 during the Korean War, most uniforms and field equipment changed in
both style and color. These cannot be used.
Optional field equipment or uniforms:
- M-1943 Field Jacket, Wool Overcoat, Mittens, Packboots
- O.D Poncho, Five-buckle rubber boots, wool sleeping bag,
M-1943 HBT cap
