VEHICLES - UNIFORMS
While studying pictures and archive movies about 79thID, we noticed several special
features of that division.
We noticed the infantrymen wore M41 jacket under their HBT jacket. Recon wore wool
trousers and shirts with M41 jacket or tanker.
Helmet nets will be typical of 79th ID but not systematicaly worn
On the Facebook page of the registrants you'll find informations about the special features
of 79th ID Recon and Infantry.
Vehicle owners, you'll have to make you jeep, M8 or any other WW2 vehicle as realistic as
possible. We know you will!
No blank firing during the trip.

We estimated the contribution at 250 euros per person. The contribution will pay the gas for
WW2 vehicles during the trip,breakfast and dinner everyday,insurance,different
administrative costs, and a flat-rate reimbursement for vehicles transports. As the
contribution is not expensive, we won't be able to pay at 100% your round trip transport for
the WW2 vehicles. It will only be on a kilometrical flat-rate basis according to the type of
vehicle you own.
Thank you for understanding.

The organization goes forward!
