Why not wear a Jeep Cap? They're relatively easy to get hold of and are designed to go under an M1... or aren't they?

(I admit to knowing bog all about yank kit, so go ahead... shoot me down!)

Yea could do Yith, Jeep caps was more of an infantry thing. Some marines wore their HBT cap underneath their Helmet in the same way though :)

You would if you sewed a frill of lank hair around the edge and wore baggy trousers.

Nah agree with Steve although didn't want to be too negative . Stubble is do-able ish , beards have to be dodgy for WWII apart from partisans/ civvies . Shaved my off for Arnhem and have done so again for other games.

Beards prevent a proper seal of the gasmask hence most Armies didn't allow them. But out on patrol or having been dropped behind enemy lines like in Normandy you see photos of people wearing big beards. (see "At the Point of No Return" by M. de Trez)

Good looking kit there Chris, still a bit shiny.
