labelkills254 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share #27 Posted November 9, 2018 On to the mountain trousers. These unfortunately are the only items that have SGT Upton's name in them. They also have the name and number of a G.J. Price who is listed in Burhans FSSF roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labelkills254 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share #28 Posted November 9, 2018 Here is Uptons name, but it also has the greek letters Phi Kappa Psi. Potentially a fraternity he was a member of post war? This group keeps mw guessing, that is for sure. Any further information is greatly appreciated. I continue to speak with the family and provide the information I have found. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted November 9, 2018 Share #29 Posted November 9, 2018 Nice items, although I do suspect that the M42 jacket zipper is post war replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And additional dates to include his WIA date and when he was transferred from 4th Battalion to 2nd Replacement Depot. I know by the end of the war the 2nd Replacement depot was located in Normandy, but would he have been transitioned from here to another unit or back to the States.
