FT.Monmouth1943 Posted March 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2020 Here is a group belonging to a Clint C Benton. I havent had much luck researching him, but if it helps, the person I got it from said the group came out of a storage unit in California. Based on whats here, it seems he started in the Marines and ended in the Air Force. First up is his Japanese made HMM-163 ball cap. Has a nice ARVN CPL First class rank and VNMC beercan.

FT.Monmouth1943 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 13, 2020 Here is a Vietnamese made green beret. Wouldnt be surprised if it was VNMC. On the back you can see there was a badge there and it looks like the right size for a VNMC badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FT.Monmouth1943 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted March 13, 2020 The last beret is an ARVN Signal Corps beret. Ive personally never seen a signal corps badge on a beret before, and it also has red material behind the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT.Monmouth1943 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted March 13, 2020 That’s all for now. The only other stuff that came with the group was some high school band stuff, a parade flag carrier, and a red cord that I’m not sure is military or civilian. Hope you enjoy! - Jakob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
