Here's a scan of 2 armbands I stumbled on in a lot of militaria I got on ebay. The bottom is a typical WW2 black and white MP armband, but the bottom is a rare WAC MP armband. These are pretty hard to find today, if you ever find one, keep hold of it!

The helmet is named to a Captain Dewers. Instead of Capt. bars, "aiming stakes" are on both sides, but you can see where the bars were scratched out and painted over... Adam

Here's one of my officer helmets... a 2nd Lt, welded insignia... The insignia has lost its bronze/gold over the years, but it's still noticable...
