Ranger et M-42.
Posté : 30 mai, 10:49
Hello.
Une p'tite photo bien originale, que je tenais à éditer.
Quelqu'un connait déjà peut-être?
PFC Lewis J. "Dutch" Haight of Easy Company 5th Rangers in an extremely RARE and seldom seen photo. He is wearing an M1942 re-enforced Jumpsuit of the type worn by paratroopers on D-Day. However, clearly visible on the left shoulder is the Ranger diamond patch. The wear of the M1942 Jumpsuit by Rangers is all but nonexistent; the exception being this instance. By all means, Rangers in combat in the ETO did not wear the M1942 jumpsuit; nor shall the 5th Rangers re-enacted. UPDATE: In talking with Lewis Haight, Lisa Torey asked about this rare photo and was told by Mr. Haight that "The jacket was (taken quickly) by me while we were stationed at Braunton assault training center prior to D Day."
