Dutch resistance head swaps and 1 of the stretcher team had a head swap. Images of 133rd parachute Field Ambulance at Arnhem gave me the inspiration for the no helmet no beret orderly #Arnhem #chainofcommand #boltaction

The Pole bodies that had berets ate now with Para berets/ Helmets from the swaps. My fave of the swaps is the vickers gunner. The heads was was from the ambulance crew. I will be using green stuff to turn the beret badge into a Para badge. Quite like having the gunner smoking while holding the line

Mikey Blake @mikeytheeagle.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Getting back into swing of things the Arnhem project Mainly head swapping today. I wanted more variation for the Poles. Will be doing green stuff tomorrow for the necks or scrims. Very happy with these. #Arnhem #chainofcommand
