USMC Forest Green Uniform Shirt ???

[doughboy]

Hi altogether,

I always assumed that the USMC Alpha uniform and also the Vandegrift jacket of ww2 and the korean war era was worn with a khaki shirt. I found a picture in the web where this uniform is combined with a forest green shirt. Can someone of you tell me please, when was this shirt worn instead of the khaki shirt.Thank you in advance for your help.

Early 1950s. USMC forest green flannel.

I say early 50s because the examples i have seen are marked/dated as such. There is also a thread on this site regarding the USMC Forest Green Flannels.

I have photos of my Dad wearing the Green Flannel Shirt while serving with the Marine Detachment on a Cruiser in the Med in 1952 but not in combination with the Greens uniform
