Typical look of 1st Infantry Division soldier
You don't have to be Polish or speak Polish to join, we want you to add to the unit not only by your presence, but also with your historical interpretation.
Keep in mind like any hobby it cost money. The "basic" cost will be around $400-$500. As you get more involved in building a correct impression you might go well over that amount. But since building an impression takes time your expenses can be spread out and therefore easier to bear.
Basic equipment required
Russian steel M.40 helmet with painted Polish Eagle
One ammo pouch
Mosin M.91/30 rifle

Ankle boots or Jack boots
