Bugme Posted July 26, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2012 I've got a special affection for the 84 Infantry Division since my father served half of his Army career with the 84th as a tank commander. Finding anything from the 84th is next to impossible and requires much patience. I'm fortunate to have Major General Jacksons summer tan uniform. The General was killed during a training exercise shortly before D-Day. I've also got the uniform Sgt. Ivan Byer, a wounded hero from the Battle of the Bulge.Harder yet to find are helmets, so for the next couple days I'll be posting a few on my WWI, WWII & Early 50's helmets and liners. Here is my most recent M1917 from the 84th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndInf.Div. Posted July 26, 2012 Share #8 Posted July 26, 2012 I had a WWII liner with a 50's 84th decal...I traded it for a "Korean War" liner that I later found out is a 1955 pattern liner Being that I traded with a good friend and he reenacts the 84th, I decided to leave it be as it was my mistake. But dang do I miss it :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads-up anyhow!_____________A big thanks to everyone else who posted such kind words on this thread. It's nice to have peers appreciate what you have.

BEAST Posted July 27, 2012 Share #21 Posted July 27, 2012 I guess I need an 84th from the 'nam era. Yes, that was sarcasm. Wish I would have known you a few years earlier, you could of had mine from the early '90s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share #22 Posted July 29, 2012 Wish I would have known you a few years earlier, you could of had mine from the early '90s! See, I always wait too long to ask. Was it a patched woodland cover? That would probably impress the post WWII helmet guys more than these old clunky original WWI and WWII 84th ID lids.
