Garandomatic Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share #27 Posted June 22, 2017 Hopefully I can figure out a few more things after Geoff pulls his files. I did find out that he came home in August, 1944 when I was looking for Friday's service number. Miraculously, I found a file that showed his ATC flight returning to the US from Blighty, and it listed his ASN. Additionally, I found his pre-officer enlistment number, and found that he was drafted in March of '41, so I figure he'd rate a PH, American Defense, American Campaign, EAME w/1 star, and WWII Victory.

Garandomatic Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share #29 Posted May 5, 2018 Sadly i felt the need to cut him loose for purely financial reasons. Had a medical bill come up with one of my kids and thought it was the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CplJegs1944 Posted May 7, 2021 Share #31 Posted May 7, 2021 Hey buddy, hope all is well. I bought one of your 30th unnamed jackets a while back. Is there any chance you're selling Duane Rodgers and Edward Friday's uniforms? I have about 15 30th Uniforms and I'm always looking for more. I would love to do business with you again. Please let me know when you get a chance. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been planning on driving out to that area and stopping by Wilmington while I was there, but it didn't pan out. Hope you got a few other goodies, too. As for the V device, I wouldn't even bother. It looks fine as is, and I've rarely seen that device used on period jackets, even though it was authorized by 1945. When I restored a recent valor BSM jacket, I used a plain ribbon because of the overall lack of period photos showing the V device being used before 1948-ish. I would conquer with this. Never really see the V device until post-war into Korea. I have 8-10 BSM uniforms that are definitely no later than '46 period and none have a "V" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
