Here are some photos of myself dressed in the gear of a Signal Corps photographer of Detachment P of the 165th Signal Photographic Company, attached to the 5th Engineer Special Brigade, circa D+1.
First off, i must apologize for the background... fall in Maine looks nothing like June in Normandy, and i was working around watching my daughter for the day (this is how i spent her naptime, haha), so i took these in our office.
second, i must admit i should have an assault gas mask for this impression. i know this, i don't have one, so please overlook this. And i believe jump boots may have been more appropriate, but i don't have those either. and on the slating board, i have "det. X" when it should be "Det. P" but i'd painted it this way to be somewhat generic. and i should have a Speed Graphic, but all i have is my Argus C3. please overlook these issues, but let me know what you think otherwise.
