Dear Friends,
In looking over this familiar image from the Archives (Falmouth, April '63) at a higher resolution, I believe I can make out the green half chevrons of the Ambulance Corps. What material do think they are made of and do you think they have a border edging?
As an aside, I noticed a few things to share:
A - believe he may be a Medical Cadet by the narrow shoulder strap.
B - interesting shirt. I remember when there was a crusade to ban these at
"authentic" events in the early 80s.
C - what kind of cap is he wearing???
D - Would anyone like to take a stab a describing this outfit??? Again, what is
he wearing on his head? What kind of Jacket is that? Interesting Belt.
Good shot of the chevrons
E - I wonder if this soldier worked hard to look like that . . .
F - Another good shot of the chevrons
How many different kinds of caps/hats can you find in this one federal unit???
I can only image the reaction of some people if we showed up looking like this crew . . . would be fun . . .
Thanks for taking a look and for your opinions!
