Just bought this BG WWII overcoat from the 32nd ID. Any guess who it belonged to? Any pic someone might have of Commanding Generals from the 32nd ID?

Thanks in advance for your help

Any comments would be greatly appreciated on this item. Anything smells or stinks let me know. Does anyone have the skinny on this item? Military ID and specifications?

Chris, I believe this was more likely between the wars or WW2 era. I don't think they wore the short ones in WW1 at all. Certainly you could come up with a list of BG's who might have worn it, but I doubt it will ever be positively ID's.

 

It has gone through eBay at least twice in the last 5 years, I think.

Thanks G. It is a WWII jacket. WWI was a typing error.
