Took my BAR out for a spin on the weekend at a new North East Scotland site. Replaced the Ranger tabs with the Big Red One patch (I need para boots, not gaiters for an accurate 2nd Rangers impression) Going for a late Normandy Campaign look, Operation Cobra probably.

Wearing the jacket over the webbing this time, noticed a fair soldiers doing it in the newsreels and photos. Very comfortable, and actually handy for the heat, you can take off the jacket when you are getting a bit sweaty and not have to worry about removing your harness!
