Narrative Narrative

This figure depicts a member of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) in the early 1970's.

The figure is dressed in OneSixthBrits DPM Jacket and Trousers which are appropriate to the period; the jacket has custom made Sergeants stripes applied. The '58 webbing has black elastic sewn on for the addition of camoflage materials. I wanted to have the poncho roll above the kidney pouches, which was a common practicce, but there just wasn't enough room or strap length to do it.
