2nd Armored 17th Engineer Battalion
The 2nd Armored Divsion have landed in Normandy and they are making their way through the Bocage clearing small villages of pockets of German resistance.
This soldier is part of the 17th Engineer Battalion who has been issued a set of Camouflage HBT’s. They were common place in the Pacific campaign, but not in Europe. They were deemed too similar to the German camouflage after some US troops where mis-identified as German soldiers.
This soldier has been issued a very rare British made sniper suit.
