Regulations for British Line Infantry
All face veils must be cammo--NO solid post war green.
All helmet chin straps must be khaki and NOT olive. No hinged post-war helmets (which are Belgian).
All BD blouses must be of the correct pattern, Country of manufacture is not

pleated pocket blouse, the pocket buttons must NOT show.
NO shoulder titles of flashes to be sewn on Denim
blouses.
Regulations for British Airborne Troops
No Post war berets--if it’s above your ear it’s wrong. War time berets
were like large soup plates and hung just below the earlobe.
All webbing should be blancoed
No 1944 toggle GP ammo pouches-ALL web pounches should have the brass clouser
snap.
No solid olive face veils--all WWII veils were cammo. Each man was issued with
one-this is a standard issue item.
No post war Denisons. 1946 pattern is passable, but only just..
All jump helmets must have either a leather or khaki web chin strap. NO olive
green chin straps--this is VERY post war.
No MK II Sten guns. The Paras were equipped with MK V’s for Normandy and
Arnhem-very few if any Mk II’s were still in use by the Paras by June of 1944. The
Infantry did still use them--but you are Airborne and NOT line infantry!
MKIII Sten should only be used by Glider Pilots (and line
infantry).
All boots to be ladder-laced--this is regulation--
NO cross lacing (X stype like your tennis shoes).
Be proud of what
who you are trying to emulate and do a good job--put some time into it.
