Uniform or FJ Forum

[J Melvin]

I didn't know which one to post this in. So, the yellow piping won out and I stuck it on this forum. Tunic just came in today. The kit includes the blue web belt and bayonet frog. Also has a 1941 dated pack with a greyish blue web strap system.

Shoulderboards

It came with the original denim boards which are pretty tough to find in and of themselves.

This tunic and its wearer saw quite a bit of sun if the contrast says anything.

Nice pics!!

Any close ups shots of the pith helmet and uniform insignia?

Thanks
Tony

Tony, there is a very recent thread in the helmet forum on the insignia on this pith helmet and also on some others. Check over there for photos of it. Here is the breasteagle on the tunic.

Hi Jack,

Stand back about a foot and shoot another, don't think you camera can focus that close.
Regards,
John

Try it one more time. The camera is great if I can ever figure out all of its features. I'm electronically challenged at times. If I ever learn how to use the DVD player, I'm divorcing the wife.
