Here it is everyone’s favorite. This M2 has been restored to a D-day configuration complete with a O.D. #7 net and scrim. The I.D. number of a real member of Easy Company has been written on the chinstrap as was often done. The helmet has been fit with a Westinghouse Jump liner. Just prior to Normandy many members of the 101st were issued new Westinghouse liner. This has been verified recently by the discovery of Westinghouse jump liner dug from the Normandy battlefields
