History Man Posted September 10, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2012 I picked this uniform up last year at a militaria show and havent been able to do any research on the man. There are multiple names written in the shoulder but after some searching I came up dry. Any help would be appreciated. Philip Names are: E.A. Arrigoni B.E. Burnett C.E.

uplandmod Posted September 10, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 10, 2012 Looks like Edward might be an Iwo vet, he is listed on WIA list so he received a purple heart. If you ever want to sell that you know whose door to knock on. Great find!! Leonardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uplandmod Posted September 10, 2012 Share #6 Posted September 10, 2012 I saw that he was from California, but my phone couldn't access the page correctly. Gotta love the California vets, just picked up a WWII dress blues from a marine from Los Angeles. Leonardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Man Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for the input. Funny thing is, I only own 2 WW2 USMC uniforms, 1 being an Iwo WIA and the other being a USMC Raider! Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Very cool but I'm not sure he was wounded at Iwo, it could have been Saipan/Tinian or Roi-Namur just as well. Very good collection.

BEAST Posted September 10, 2012 Share #11 Posted September 10, 2012 I wish they all could be California vets Well, East coasts vets are hip, I really dig the styles they wear!

David Arrigoni Posted March 17, 2016 Share #12 Posted March 17, 2016 ...E.A. Arrigoni is my father, Edward Angelo Arrigoni (1908-1984) He was wounded on Saipan and recovered in Honolulu. He spoke Italian, French, Russian and Japanese. I have a large oil painting of him wearing his uniform. If you would like to see it send me an email.
