If THAT's the combat cap.... what do you suppose he wears with his No.2 Dress?

The hat? Tchah! Thousands better can be found on the heads of 5 year old kids on any Canadian ski hill.

He's well camouflaged at least, I count 3 pieces of greenery, one lot on each arm and another around his waist

Point of Order, Rhys, I'm not sure if that IS in fact, just a bit of 'greenery' round his waist.
It could be the latest style in three-dimensional regimental Stable belts.; clearly this seasons "must have" accessory for the well dressed man about town.

Has anybody ever determined why these asshats where their hats down over their eyes? Perhaps it's because they spend so much time discharging their weapons into the air and think that their hats will protect them from falling bullets?

And you can keep your weak, recycled Cromwell/Chamberlain references in that place whither the sun neither rises nor sets anymore.

Hmm... I dunno about it's being a regimental belt, the chappie has a plain brown leather belt holding up his pants underneath. Now if it were a regimental belt, I would expect it to be found on one of the inner city "crack" squad where the pants are worn approximately half way down the arse, hence not requiring belts to hold them up and freeing them to be "ornamental objects" as opposed to "belts"

Rhys,
You mean... you don't say???
A belt is actually meant to hold up your trousers?
I thought they were just something you polished.

I wouldn't want to run into that lot on a dark night. I guess that's why I'm an accountant rather than a soldier.

Looks like we've stumbled into an outdoor museum of Czech GPMG......
