Those are excellent!
I love the details. Great work.

Who is the VET? And what is the medal on his left breast pocket?

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice.
My grandfather was involved in the Battle of the Bulge with the 11th Infantry, as a Staff Sgt. Just days before the Battle ended, His company was ambushed by snipers in Luxembourg, and he was shot along with a few of his men; He was shot in the leg by a sniper rifle. It was a bad wound--a compound fracture along the tibia--and caused him a year in and out of the Hospital getting numerous surgeries along with physical therapy. He kept his leg (but had to have a large piece of removed due to clots) but it pained him for the rest of his life and caused recurrent bouts of phlebitis along with nerve damage throughout the right leg, and possibly caused his first stroke (which he survived with no long term effects) and his second, which sadly ended his life in 1975, thirty years after getting shot.

The one thing I've noticed about all the FIG photos albums posted around is they seem to focus almost entirely on Barracks shots, you see very little photos from the battle let alone any armor.

Thanks for posting the photos. It is always good to look at re-enactment groups, even when in relaxation-mode.
