Murphy92 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted October 9, 2016 The collar disk is numbered : And there's no name inside the jacket ... only a lundry number inside the British Made garrison cap (S-6611) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted October 11, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 11, 2016 Very nice... and thanks for showing. FYI, the Constabulary patch is a German made Bevo style example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy92 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks to all for your interventionsI wonder if it is possible to identify the former(old) owner of this jacket and it in view of the decorations that he(it) most probably obtained within the cavalry 14th regiment in Europe Thank you beforehand for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kai robert Posted October 11, 2016 Share #7 Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks to all for your interventions I wonder if it is possible to identify the former(old) owner of this jacket and it in view of the decorations that he(it) most probably obtained within the cavalry 14th regiment in Europe Thank you beforehand for your help You can search by laundry number and see if anyone got the Silver Star. 90 possible, might take a while http://wwii-enlistment.com/search/?asn=&laundryNumber=s-6611&forename=&surname=&state=&county=&birthYear=&search=Search http://www.homeofheroes.com/members/04_SS/2_WWII/indexes/army/Army-S.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted January 17, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 17, 2017 Great find! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63 RECON Posted January 21, 2017 Share #9 Posted January 21, 2017 That's a VII corps patch on the other sleeve yeah? He could have got the SS serving under any number of units in VII corps. The 14th Cavalry group which were the predecessors to the 14th Constabulary didn't serve under VII corps as far as i can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
