Army Air Corps Chaplain kit

[644td]

This is a named kit and the name is being researched. The kit belonged to a WW2 Army Air Corps Chaplain assigned HQ transport Carrier Group, I believe based on translating the back of the kit. The kit based on Bob Heskett’s book on Chaplains kits is a protestant field kit and that is also confirmed by the fact that the Chaplain was Methodist.

Thanks Brian,

 I’m a Chaplain collector and I don’t have many kits due to space but it’s my second early WW2 kit in the last 2 months.

Hey Marty, that’s a nice looking set!  Looks to be very complete, and in excellent condition.

John,

it’s good to hear from you and hope all is well. The kit is complete and that’s what drew me to it but when it arrived that’s when I found out it was named and that was a big plus. Finding Chaplain helmets has been slow, so this was the next best thing.

Great, both you owned it, and let us have a look on it.

Marty,

You take great pictures and a very nice kit including the prayers books from the chaplain's denomination.

Well done.
