    6:07 Cross the straps of the gas mask bag like an X on your back. That will keep it from sliding off. That’s how the soldiers did it.

    I usually put the bandolier on first. When ever i put the gas mask on I criss cross it. It stays on better that way. Plus Double buckles weren't issued during the Normandy Invasion you don't start seeing them until Oct-Nov 44. Most of the guys that got the fresh gear were the replacements.

      bandolier goes on last. You can tighten it up with a knot or a safety pin (Originals will come with one)

    That's a great impression and gear presentation my friend .... I enjoyed the show !
    I've watched your other videos and this is one of the best ones... I've learned some stuff : )
    I will be presenting my own WW2 U.S. Army gear displays on Veteran's Day coming up on Nov. 11th.
    Only if I'm successful in preparing the stuff I need for the show... if not able to, well maybe by
    next year's Veteran's Day.... once again your impression was great : )

      @@reenactmentdays5891 I believe he means easy company of the first infantry. Could be wrong though. Each company had specific details to them. For example, Easy Company of the fifth rangers had British small hole netting while the other companies had no netting, even though they were all technically part of the "5th Rangers"
