Classic portrayal of this engagement! If it goes commercial, may I suggest two heads? One USMC and alternative for British 41 Commando Royal Marines, who fought with the USMC, not for the first time in their respective histories. The British Marines were totally equipped by the Americans, Uniforms, Weapons, even underwear! The only British item worn was the Commando Green Beret and badge, sometimes. This was worn under or above the Parka Hood. Helmets did not appear to be worn and total faith was placed in the Green Beret to protect from shrapnel etc! An illustration of this uniform by Charles Stadden is hopefully attached! Dubris ps This is the first time I have done a Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Nap for sorting me out, my tech skills are not brilliant! A further observation from Charles Stadden, in that he states that helmets [US most certainly] were worn. Photographic evidence of RM's wearing US Helmets is thin on the ground. I think it may have been a case of if a Camera was around, it was Berets on! Otherwise, US helmets were worn at other times for better personal safety! Stay safe! Dubris.

The photos were rotated when I first uploaded them, even though I had them stored correctly. I don't know where the error occurred. Someone of the administrators turned them over and put them back in the correct position. Unfortunately their quality suffered very badly and the photos are worse than bad. Now I put the photos in the right position and size. Please admin, do not change their size anymore. And to remind you to make two heads? Yes, it's an interesting idea. But this is primarily a private project without the idea of commercial dissemination. And the idea of the sponsor was clear. Other ideas are irrelevant in this case. Only if .......? But it is up to the future owner. I hope you understand me. And thank you for your interest and positive comments.

The subtle sculpting of the folds and seams in the clothing is fantastic... well done

I can see that many potential buyers will be heart-broken (and one lucky owner ecstatic).
