US Medic-2nd ID-July, 1944

Hello all...
my first medic bash (shame on me; my nephew is a combat medic, currently deployed to Bagdad)...
I wanted to represent an enlisted medic with the basic load-out of two medic pouches and harness/yoke...I'm slowly increasing my 'drive to St.Lo' Normandy GI bashes; this one gave me the opportunity to represent the 2nd ID.
After coming ashore on Omaha on June 7th...the 2nd was commited first to the push toward Cherbourg...then secured the left flank of the 29th on the push through the Hedgerows to St.Lo...finding themselves facing, among others, the 3rd Fallschirmjager Div....some tough troops indeed...
Body-DML w/slimmed chest (I'm starting to do this simple mod to all the DML bodies; it improves the fit of ALL clothes and equipment)
DML wool shirt and trousers
DML M41 'Parsons' jacket
Newline Miniatures US Army 'roughouts' and leggings (latest colors)...(I have to add that the last 10 sets of NLM US army leggings I've purchased are significantly tighter-fitting than previous versions...I've asked Graham if this was intended, or if it's just a quirk from his manufacturers...I never got a definitive answer about this particular subject although he VERY quickly got back in touch with me and was very kind to answer other questions I asked of him...He's a great guy to deal with and his products are VERY welcome in the 1/6th world...regardless, the tighter leggings are WONDERFUL and address the only issue I ever had with NLM leggings...I hope they REMAIN this way!)
DML medic pouches and harness (all the DML 'Docs')
DML M1936 pistol belt and medic canteens
DiD metal helmet and DiD liner...modified straps to secure on rear of helmet (easy fix)-(Albert Ross- Lt.s bar removed with Testor's (formerly Polly-S) ELO-Easy Lift Off-Zang netting and folded CVI Red Cross arm brassard)
CVI Red Cross brassards-winter GI rank chevrons-2nd ID patch
DML character sculpt (I couldn't tell you which one...I used him because he had a good 'concerned' look about him)
Thanks to Noah and DougOSU for the advice on the medic equipment...and thanks for looking,
Bruce
