hink441 Posted July 24, 2016 Share #402 Posted July 24, 2016 Here is my most favorite uniform I own. It certainly is not rare or worn by a famous highly decorated soldier. It was given to me by my best High School buddy. He wore this jacket in Afghanistan during the 2005 deployment of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 29th ID. Hope you like and thanks for looking. Chris Close up of the theater made CIB. Here is my Buddy wearing this very jacket in Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Militaria Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share #405 Posted November 21, 2016 This is one of my favorites. Two tour 8th AAF P-47/51 Fighter Pilot who commanded "Bill's Buzz Boys", a pioneering ground strafing unit leading up to D-Day, 2.5 Aerial Victories, shot down in May 1944 and fought with the French Maquis until linking up with the US Third Army a few weeks later. After a month break in the US, he returned to Europe for a second tour and was shot down again while attacking what was later found to be a decoy train, being Killed In Action.

firefighter Posted November 21, 2016 Share #406 Posted November 21, 2016 Justin, Such a sad story. Great looking uniform and history to go with it.Thank you for sharing.You have a pretty amazing group of uniforms. It reminds me of John McCain.He was on the Forrestal when his plane was destroyed by that horrific fire.Was offered to go home but asked for another combat carrier.We all know how that ended.

AAlvarado90 Posted January 29, 2017 Share #408 Posted January 29, 2017 My wifes grandfathers uniforms. Served with the 9th Air Force. Everything is in perfect condition, as he put it away properly. I believe the Shooter badges and EIB are his brothers, who passed away shortly after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrenchRat Posted June 14, 2017 Share #415 Posted June 14, 2017 Good day all, I have here what I believe to be quite a rare WWI period (and earlier), officer's fur lined overcoat. These I believe were all non-issue... I have seen images these coats taken in France during WWI and Mexico in 1916... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrenchRat Posted June 14, 2017 Share #416 Posted June 14, 2017 Don't know if this type of overcoat is particularly rare, but I sure haven't seen many for the offering. Here I have a WWI period shawl-collared short overcoat. Coat is unlined and features tunic-size buttons. There is only a stitched outline of where a QM tag in the right pocket once was... This coat is not ready for display yet, so I present it here is raw form... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really this is a mistery, but I think not possible a modification on this item. Because of decease of Mr. Roberts I can attach also the pic where you can see the address marked on the paper : the town was on Missisipi and I don't see assignements on this area !

patches Posted August 17, 2017 Share #425 Posted August 17, 2017 I found a George P Furber(correct spelling) that also served with the FSSF. Can anyone tell me if this is the same man? George P. Furber, FSSF 6‑2, Watertown, Massachusetts if it is, then the theory I would put forward was he was wounded at Anzio, a little earlier on and was in the rear getting treated, and thus missed out in the debacle at Cisterna, and with his unit gone now, was transferred to the FSSF when he was fit for duty rather then sent home.
