douglas Posted November 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2017 I am attaching some photos of a P1941 jacket, USMC marked with the mans name and USN above the pocket. There are no markings on the sleeves. His name is also marked on the inside bottom. In the inside neck area is marked the size of #34. No remains of any tag. I did some research and found the name Ostroski, Eugene listed on LST's in 1944 and 1945. His serial number is 642 38 24 and PhM2c and later PhM1c. Enlistment 08-14-42 Discharge: 10-21-45 So, I have no idea if this belonged to Eugene Ostroski, but he was the only Pharmacist Mate I could locate with the last name Ostroski. What do you think about this jacket?? Thanks, Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jguy1986 Posted November 23, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 23, 2017 John S. Ostroski was a corpsman 1953-54, including time with the 1st MarDiv in 1953. Marking uniforms with that type of pen was much more commonly done in the 1950s, not so much in the 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted November 23, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2017 Agree on the markings Also appears to be a later shirt(post WW2) as the pocket appears more rounded in the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
