AEF Service Uniform Group, 26th Div. 102nd Artillery

Wanted to show pics of my 102nd artillery. The parade flag and homecoming brochure were acquired separately from the uniform (courtesy of Bay State Militaria), but are a nice addition to the set.

Wow that is a great set you have! Could we possibly get more pics of the shirt? It all looks like it is in very good condition and will make a great display.

Outstanding example you have there. Most of the ones I have seen are nowhere in as good condition.

Thanks,

Great items! Like to see groupings with some "background" items, too. Very interesting helmet.

What a great group to a hard fought unit! Thank you for posting!

Wow! I love the painted helmet, especially the cannon.

Very nice, what is that pin over the right pocket of the tunic?

IT is a fairly standard homecoming pin, but has a ribbon and a .45 acp cartridge with an eagle engraved in the brass. See photo

Thanks, but I was referring to the pin above the pocket, the crossed cannons with the US. Looks like officer insignia or was it some sort of civilian veteran pin?

Im not sure what it is. I took a photo that includes the pocket button for size reference. It is quite small and just has the crossed cannons and US. I thought it might be some sort of pin for an overseas hat, but just left it as it was when I got it. Any ideas as to what it is would be welcome

[Mitter2k1]

It might be a sweetheart pin.
