Roy M Posted December 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2018 Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone could help me solve the mystery of this WWI tunic I purchased. Being from Vermont, I had to purchase this tunic, it has a VT collar disk, Infantry collar disk, three service stripes, a YD patch and a coastal artillery gunner patch. When I looked up this guy due to initials on the trousers I found a soldier matching his description. If anyone could give thier input on this tunic it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted December 3, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2018 Your rank patch is for a PFC of Artillery. It looks like the 1st Vermont Infantry Became "F" Company, 102nd Ammunition Train, which would make it a Field Artillery support uniform. So, the disks pre-date the mobilization to the 26th Division, but I can imagine that nobody would have given him any grief about them during the war, especially since he was in a Vermont unit and wearing VT insignia. Nice and interesting tunic. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
