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

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?

It could be navy issue?

Interesting I’ll have to check that out, what would those uniforms be called?

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.
