M1951 Jacket with 2 Names

[KommandoPost]

I picked this up today at a swap meet. It is named to 2 different Marines.

Russick wrote his name in the lower pocket flaps.

 

 

I managed to find info about Russick: 3rd Tank Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, which did not to go to Korea, not to mention he enlisted after the armistice. His job in a tank unit could explain why the jacket is so beautifully dirty.

I can't find anything on V.H. Ontiveros, other than that he is not the John Ontiveros who received the Bronze Star.
