I had that thought, especially since I wouldn’t think anyone coming ashore would want to secure anything to your boots like that. But did the paratroopers jump and glide with life preservers like that?
The sketch is definitely cataloged with material related to the 29th. That doesn’t mean it is not miscataloged or that the artist might not have sketched a compilation or simply have been in error.
Did the Rangers kit up any differently?
