It was a good afternoon, I picked up this grouping today out of the woodwork. The grouping is named to

Joseph L. Greene Jr. 14171117 who served with the 82nd Cml. Bn. I will be listing everything in the grouping section this week sometime with more info.

Enjoy,

Marty

Patch is XIV Corps (14th). Nice group! In all of my years of collecting, never had a group with a helmet in it - everything else, but never a helmet!

Thank you for the information. I just got this today right after church and have not even gone through everything. There is a dairy in the batch.

I forgot about the Westinghouse camo liners. When I saw it I knew there was something special about it but could not remember what it was and I guess from my title it was obvious. I should have have lead with the liner in the title.

It does not get much better than this, between that canteen/Nambu and all the other goodies this grouping rocks

XIV Corps, and, it was sewn on upside down.

 

LOL I did not even see that the patch was upside down.

 

I have been reading the few things in his dairy and there seemed to be a lot of daily air raids and a lot of night duty and very little sleep. On one day he saw 1400 dead Japanese in place. There is not a lot written down but it does give you a insight to daily life. One quote that stood out was " the shelling was so bad I thought I was going to die and then I hoped I would"

Question, when to comes to Westinghouse jungle liners would you consider them rare,desirable,or common.

Uncommon and desirable.

 

Rarity and desirability are two separate things.

Man, love the factory camo liner! That canteen is outstanding as well! It puts the whole grouping into context. Great piece of trench art!

Thanks for the feedback. I have been researching his path and the canteen is dead on for the 82nd chemical Bn. and their travels. The dairy with the few entries in it gives inside to daily Japanese air attacks.
