Bob Hudson Posted January 15, 2008 Share #35 Posted January 15, 2008 Yes, I collect KW big brass too! Here is MG (later GEN) Henry Hodes' TW shirt. Hodes commanded the 24th ID in action in Korea. Note the location of his nametape and the lack of a U.S. Army tape. From photos I have seen, this is typical of the late KW era. The Army adopted double tapes by the mid '50's Army wide. The metal stars have an odd staple-like attachment -- I assume they are Korean made. shrapneldude has posted an M43 jacket with this kind of nametag placement: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...showtopic=14421 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted January 15, 2008 Share #43 Posted January 15, 2008 Yes, I collect KW big brass too! Here is MG (later GEN) Henry Hodes' TW shirt. Hodes commanded the 24th ID in action in Korea.

The metal stars have an odd staple-like attachment -- I assume they are Korean made. As a Brigadier in Nov/Dec 1950, Henry I. Hodes was MG Barr's Assistant Commander of the 7th Infantry Division. He played a pivotal role in the action on the east side of the Chosin Reservoir where the 31st RCT bravely fought, and was eventually almost annihalated by, some 2 Divisions of Chinese troops.

USMCRECON Posted January 15, 2008 Share #44 Posted January 15, 2008 We have, on display here in our office, the helmet of Gen Van Fleet. It has his stars painted on it along with varios unit SSIs. It came to us directly from the family, with whom we have been working for years related to the General's son who is one of the unaccounted for from the Korean War.
