Sully Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I got a WW2 80th INF Ike and I have not been able to find this unit. I think it is for a AAA unit as the Ike has Coast Arty collar brass. Can anyone help? Always looking for WW1 28th Division; anything, papers, field gear, uniforms, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Sully Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks guys. I was looking all over AAA and Arty DUI's for it. I'm thinking they aren't original to the Ike then. Always looking for WW1 28th Division; anything, papers, field gear, uniforms, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
KurtA Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks guys. I was looking all over AAA and Arty DUI's for it. I'm thinking they aren't original to the Ike then. Post a photo of the entire Ike and the reverse of the DUI's. That will enable a determination of originality to be made. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry about the quality of photo my camera leaves a lot to be desired. Always looking for WW1 28th Division; anything, papers, field gear, uniforms, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Sully Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Here is the DI. It is not hallmarked and the lower pin has been re-soldered back in place. Again the camera didn't do this justice.

KurtA Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Based on the photos, as least some of what is on the Ike was placed there by someone other than the vet. Those 2nd Inf DUI's should be with a 5th Div patch, not 80th Division. Not an "as-worn" jacket. Link to post Share on other sites
