I am intrigued by the Argentine algodon berets. What's your experience in wearing/handling them? I would like to see a grey one on your site.
As far as the eggshell berets, it's is not something I would want to put on my egghead
A cartoon from those days; translates more or less to this:
The Dutch soldier...
Must have discipline, but not at the cost of his personal freedom.
He must be armed, but it shouldn't cost too much.
He must be vigilant, but not too much...
Some shots from Sud de France.
Bolthead, nice beret. But you need to shape it with hot/cold water, and really mould that baby to your head. Do a search on some photos of modern day British Paras or Marines and that'll give you an idea of 'the look.' Might be worth taking the Tanker's (Panzer) Badge off, just makes it more versatile to wear (rather than paramilitary). Nice one!
Montpellier and Cap D'Agde where a French friend of mine from way back now lives with her hubbie and family. I got the TGV down from Paris (amazingly efficent and fast!). Strangely enough, regarding the 'beret,' I really didn't see too many people wearing them (the odd elderly gent).
