I have managed to pick up a few things so far.
A 1910 ammo belt dated 1918 a BAR belt with the buttstock cup dated 1918 1917A1 helmet. Pair of khaki size 3 gaiters two original T handled e-tools 3 M1917 US Enfield rifles 1 M1 Garand, originally made April 1942 M1911A1 .45 pistol, unfortunately is a later war Ithaca made pistol
Still looking to get the "boondocker" shoes. Khaki uniform and wool shirt. Campaign hat.
What Price Glory and a couple of other sites have items I can use. Big issue seems to be a proper style campaign hat though.
Any ideas??

Nice collection. What is the proper style campaign hat? Isn't it the same one as in WPG? The smokey bear hat?

Imust have missed the ones offered by WPG.
All the ones around here are recent drill sergeant hats and are the wrong color.

Proper style campaign hat would be to go to gun or militaria shows or EBAY! ;D I got mine in a surplus store and was brown. Got the chin straps from WPG.
WPG would have the best repro khaki trousers and Wool shirts. I know there are those WWII garrrison shoes made sold in HongKong, but I can find their webite anymore.

Yep, I started looking on Epay for the hat. I need either larger sized leggings or loose weight ;D Right now I could do an impression of an old Colonel ready to retire, I've got the girth for it I also have managed to pick up a couple of Japanese rifles, a T-38 carbine, a T99 mid war and a T99 Sniper rifle, but it is sadly missing the scope.
