L/Sgt John Wintershausen MM

This hugely evocative photograph of John Wintershausen MM illustrates the kind of informal dress that the frontline soldier was able to get away with. The jacket seems to be US Army issue (16 DLI was part of the US Fifth Army in Italy in 1943) and the scarf is definitely non-regulation, too! Note the holstered pistol.
