1st Divsion Infantry Boat Team Leader
This mannequin represents a infantry boat team leader of the 4th Infantry Division, who is aboard a transport ship just off the French coast.
He is geared up and ready to load on to an LCVP bound for Utah beach.
He is wearing gas impregnated HBT uniform over the top of his standard wool uniform to protect himself against the possible use of gas on the beach.
The channel crossing has been a rough one and he has had very little sleep worrying about the day’s events that lie ahead.
