Hello,
a little evocation of 3e RPC in 1955 Edough mountains where they were deployed in december 1955. Its a woodland area of ALgeria....
photos were taken on a 20km trip in windy snowy winter conditions and in the end I was kinda happy to have the sewed overjacket
For the equipment
tousers TTA47/54 aluminium buttons - modified (piece of elastic rubber at the end of the hose)
jacket TTA47/52 allegée, modifiée (retaillée)
casquette Bigeard (repro)
shirt Mle47 and sweater Mle1949
boots mle 52 (separated buckles)
wool gloves , camouflage scarf and
woolen neck scarf
belt TAP50/53, with canteen cover M51 and canteen M52.
2x m1 mag holsters - one US french modif , other one is repro (I am awaiting french made holster)
Knife is M3 Utica
2 grenades DF37 - repro
the bag is TAP50 1ere type - repro
inside is la veste matelassée 1ere type, poncho camouflé, torch TL122 metallique; something to eat, mess kit and some underwear
the bag is so small that its almost unimagineable to pack all the stuffs needed for the whole weekend.... just one whole was enough.... maybe it sould be better with TAP47/54 jacket where there is more pockets to use
weapon is M1 chiappa in .22LR
and below few pics
and one photo of a friend in TAP47/56 with an airsoft MAS36
