Fritz Posted May 16, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2017 Found this this past weekend, fairly nice WW1 USN medical officer's uniform, pretty sure the rank is Lt. JG, the Bullion Insignia is pretty nice and looks like he spent a year overseas by his stripes, I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything. This is the first WW1 Navy uniform I've ever come across, or at least I THINK it's WW1. Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swmdo Posted May 16, 2017 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2017 I believe that is a supply corps officer vice medical and the rank is an ensign. Two overseas stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted May 16, 2017 Hmm, I guess I'll have to resign up with Ancestry. Thanks for the comments guys, navy stuff is not really my thing but I had never seen an officers uniform from WW1 before and snagged it ?

AustinO Posted May 16, 2017 Share #7 Posted May 16, 2017 There was a Robert Richard Wilde who was a WWI vet from PA, though I'm not sure if he's in the PA veterans cards....Died in 1942. You can access Ancestry for free via your local public library - I usually just go there to pull Ancestry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted May 23, 2017 All, just an FYI, I've decided to let this uniform go and have it listed in the for sale section. Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
