Recently started to have a focus on collecting ETO uniforms, with a side focus on 36th ID items because of my Texas background. Stuff from the 36th is pretty hard to find, so this is all I have so far. All are named, however only the Ike is completely researched. Would love to see what others have pertaining to the 36th!

Very nice uniforms..

 

I have a named combination 63rd ID / 36th ID combat medic uniform. The 63rd ID was the medic's current assignment and the 36th ID was the medics combat patch. The medic was with the 111th Medical Battalion, 36th ID when he was awarded his Combat Medical Badge. Both the the 36th and 63rd Infantry Divisions liberated Concentration Camps.. The 36th Liberated a Dachau sub camp and the 63rd liberated Kaufering, also a Dachau sub camp.

 

I don't currently have pictures as it is on temporary loan to a local museum...

Great, a new thread to bookmark!

 

Well I think we are familiar but I’ve seen other threads for other units and would like to see this one become a reference for 36th uniforms (or any 36th if you’d like, I’ve got some other things I could post that aren’t uniforms)

 

First is from my g-grandfather PFC Delmer C. Koonter, my pride and joy, who served with I company, 142nd IR from the tail of Italy to the end of the war. He was wounded in Selestat on Dec. 2, a battle for which he also received his PUC.

The photo and painting were done of this same uniform.

My other 36th jacket is a 1956 dated (last run of Ikes) that belonged to Sgt. John Pavlovic. Born to Yugoslavian immigrants, he enlisted illegally at age 15 to serve with E company, 141st IR. He was wounded in the war and awarded the bronze star. He would go on to serve in Germany during Korea and then an additional 3 tours in Vietnam where he was wounded again.

Amazing 36th Infantry uniforms so far!

 

I am very curious to know if anyone has anything belonging to veterans from F Company, 142 infantry regiment. Many of the original (pre-war NG) members of the company were local residents of my area.

This grouping was a local Craigslist find. Although a bit out of my collecting interests at the time, it was a hard group to pass up when I saw it. The lot is named to a Corporal who served with the 36th Infantry Division, 142nd Infantry Regiment, "I" Company. Some limited research shows he qualified for his CIB in August of 1944 and was discharged in March of 1946. The Ike is dated June of 1944 and came with matching pants (not shown). I tried to check out CIB to see if there were any markings on the reverse, however interestingly the vet had it sewn on the jacket as shown. Also the OD handkerchief has a theater sewn 36th ID patch on it.

That one is incredible! Love it and the fact that my grandfather went into combat around the same time and likely knew the man who wore it! Very cool!
