Thought I would share my first item of WW2 men's uniform. Service coat named to Melvin L Wagenblast. So far found out that we has born in 1919 in The Dulles Oregon, he was employed for a packing company associated with apple growers. He apparently moved to Ohio at some point and passed away in Bucyrus in 1993. So far haven't been able to find any info other than his serial number and dates of enlistment on his service, hoping to find out more.

Don’t know if you’re still around, but there’s actually the pants belonging to this man on a bid on ebay
