Goofbal19100 Posted December 25, 2024 #1 Posted December 25, 2024 Hi, I’m looking to honor my great grandfather, and I need some help identifying what he is wearing in this picture. Thank you so much
easterneagle87 Posted December 25, 2024 #2 Posted December 25, 2024 Looks like a standard US issued pith helmet / sun helmet with an EGA screwed to the front.

Ok, would you have any idea what uniform he is wearing? I compared it to pictures of both the marine hbts and summer service shirt but they didn’t seem to match, any other ideas?

The Rooster Posted December 25, 2024 #6 Posted December 25, 2024 Dont know for sure but.... here is a thread that might help? With equipment being short for the Marines back then, they may be wearing these navy Shirts? Someone on here better versed than I will have the answer.
