Great find! Unfortunately the VMI Museum website doesn't have a photograph of him but I'll be in Lexington in a couple of weeks and I can photograph his yearbook entry for you. Interestingly, his father, brother, and son were all VMI alumni.

 

How about some pictures of the VMI uniforms when you get a chance?

As far as I know this group has not been thru the Dealer/Collector mill. It came into my friends Vintage Clothing Shop right off the street. Included with the jacket and HBTs were about 6 uniform garments from VMI, several of which also are named to Navas, an unnamed overseas cap and a khaki shirt. From what I was able to gather the guy who walked into the shop with it was a wannabe picker type. No documents or photos were included. Unless that guy is holding back other items, that may well be all of it. If anybody else out there has any info on Navas, I would appreciate it.

I know he was awarded the SS in Feb 44 in Italy. He led a night raid behind enemy lines and was seriously wounded in the process. I also know he was a VMI grad but that's about it at the moment. Im just getting started researching the guy, WW2 airborne is not my area of expertise.

Rob May is the one who sold these.
