[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1783804, member: 13284"] PM sent. I wasn't planning to make it branch specific. If I end up doing so I will put it together as an Army Pacific theater kit since my Great Grandfather served in the 96th during WWII. Technically, if I were making it "correct" I shouldn't even have a trench / fighting knife on the ammo belt since the knives were issued to non-riflemen. The belt would have been issued to an Army rifleman with a Garand or a Marine with a 1903 or Garand. BTW...here's a picture of my Great Grandfather (on right in photo) along with a scanned article regarding his service on Okinawa (Ryukyus Islands, he also saw action in Leyte). He was awarded a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Bronze Service Arrowhead, Phillippine Liberation Ribbon, and Good Conduct Metal for his service.
