Myself and Jon feel as though we have hit dead ends in this hobby. Both of us are sick of the politics within groups and the Hobby in general and also feel we've now both reached the point where we're able to do something about this, and not sit back and just put up with other peoples bollocks, and i'm sure others ...

First of all, it'd be good to bang a few uniforms together to get some good photos of the different periods, so we need to try and decide who's going to do what. What i was going to suggest was to try and portray the Unit through all stages of its existence. This means training periods (Standard M42's, Jumpboots, 17th Airborne SSI, Plain M2, Jon?), Combat ...

It was formed by Me and Jon pretty much due to the fact that we're not only sick and tired of doing displays that have been done a million times, but to do a unit that deserves recognition just as much as any other. The combat record for the 517th speaks for itself, to this day it's fitness records have not been beaten by any other US Unit, it performed with distinction in Combat getting itself a well deserved reputation ...

Bez will know the bloke who is asking for the M3 mags, it's the tour guide from Littlecote. For those who haven't seen him he turned up to do this tour for a group of Americans visiting some of the major 506th locations in Britain and Europe as part of the Stephen Ambrose tours. ...

Kit all over the place (But in an Authentic way ), camouflage, and unauthorized kit. Been reading the 517th History to try and get a better idea of squad structures. Basically, they only had 2 squads per platoon as opposed to 3 up until November when they finally received enough replacements to give each company an extra squad per platoon, increasing ...
