Subject: Combat equipment and clothing

Hi,

 

    I belong to a group that form time to time puts on a time line of the soldier, form the French and Indian War to the present.  One area that is not covered is the Korean War, so I have started to collect the items in order to put them on display. So I was wondering what the guys wore that were in combat?  What equipment did you like and what did you hate?  What clothing did you have versus what was supposed to be issued to you and not the ones in the read areas.  I have started to read the personal stories of the veterans in order to get some ideas.

 

 

        Thanks,
