In 2010/2011 a few members of SHAT started a little project: The Queens own
Rilfes of Canada (QoR) WWII loadout. After a few months the project wasn't so
little any more.
We equip ourselves as the members of a Canadian infantry division from D-day
'till VE-day, the Queen's Own Rifles. Our group is currently at 4 members with a
fifth and sixth on their way.
Some QoR history can be found on wikipedia:

So what stuff do you need?
Most importantly, we are trying to reflect a real world unit. Out of respect you
should try and do a decent job. We are aware that it is airsoft and not official
reenactment but some effort is expected and appreciated.
In stead of putting down a detailed kit list here, join the forum ask around and
within our group we should be able to help you out.
Some of the stuff you'll need:
- Webbing, the QoR dyed it black. however replacement gear wasn't dyed so
pieces of undyed gear or fresh recruits with undyed equipment wasn't uncommon
later on during the war. (so dying it isn't mandatory, but you can save some
money by buying webbing that looks horrible and just dye it black.
- Uniform, post war Dutch battledress can be found for 30 euro's or so and
will do the job.
- Ammo boots
- Helmet
- Beret (Dutch brown postwar is easy and cheap and will do the job)
- Insignia and stuff, we have some places to order those
- A replica Stengun, Bren or Lee Enfield are perfect and preferred.
Temporarily a Thompson or mp40 is acceptable. But please don't show up with an
M4.
Some pictures of the end result:
If you want to join us, just send us a mail or drop a line on the forum.
to be able to play both sides, we now have several WWII projects on going
including axis forces,
