patches Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share #106 Posted October 6, 2017 A GI, Bill Vegso of the 65th Division with a stash ETO 45, apart from his mustache, he's wearing an odd looking fur cap under his pot, doesn't look like the U.S.M43 pile cap right, looks more like one of those Russian Front German fur caps.

Garandomatic Posted October 6, 2017 Share #107 Posted October 6, 2017 Brother, things are rough in the eto... Dude must not have been able to find a shirt that fit, or this one shrunk! Notice how tight the buttons are and how he had to lace it to get it to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron bender Posted October 6, 2017 Share #108 Posted October 6, 2017 Brother, things are rough in the eto... Dude must not have been able to find a shirt that fit, or this one shrunk! Notice how tight the buttons are and how he had to lace it to get it to close. Trying to stay warm. Two shirts and a sweater under his wool shirt. He's packed tight. I really like the use of his garrison/dress belt on his pants, and it looks like he's had some 30 carbine ammo loops to it. He must be a time traveller….how Korean War of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted October 6, 2017 Share #110 Posted October 6, 2017 {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif php2Qo3oLPM.jpg A GI, Bill Vegso of the 65th Division with a stash ETO 45, apart from his mustache, he's wearing an odd looking fur cap under his pot, doesn't look like the U.S.M43 pile cap right, looks more like one of those Russian Front German fur caps. It looks like he has multiple layers under that shirt, he's bulging at the seams. Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer J Posted October 19, 2017 Share #113 Posted October 19, 2017 phpfiArkMPM.jpg Here's a nice mustachio right, he's one Hugh Magee. He was in from 1952-74, I guess this portrait will date from the early 70s. He flew combat missions from USS RANGER (CVA-61) Jan-Aug 1966 and USS CONSTELLATION (CVA-64) Apr-Nov 1967, and ended up with a total of 247 combat missions, of which 200+ were over North Vietnam. CDR Magee (BusyBee604) was a very active member of the Airwarriors forum until he passed away in January 2016. Very interesting and colorful gent.

patches Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share #116 Posted January 11, 2018 Nice waxed pointed stash, mid 1960s. Even more interesting is that this officer, Major George Osborn, was a professor at the U.S. Military Academy ,wouldn't think this sort of thing would be tolerated there among the faculty at West Point. And one more for tonight, another Vietnam era one, this time a Green Beret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
