Based on what I have found, it appears he was only assigned to Co K during his time with the 128th IR. Not sure how much of this you have already seen, so I'll include it all here.   Source is NARA; mostly from this link: https://catalog.archives.gov/search?page=1&q=34872962   He reported to the 128th IR on 3 Jul 44:   On the same day, he was attached to Co K for rations and duty (he was one of the 32 Enlisted Men mentioned at bottom of MR).   On 8 Jul 44, he was assigned to and joined Co K.   His CIB orders/awarded while with Co K:   Orders for his change in status from Pfc to Sgt (Temporary).   Report indicating his body was recovered and his status changed from MIA:   Orders revoking his temporary change in status to Sgt from Pfc (seems kind of rotten of them to not have just posthumously promoted him to Sgt!). cs = change in status   I hope this helps.

Awesome post!  I really enjoyed reading and looking at the photos.  Thank you for sharing this.  — Matt

I'm also working towards a desert storm impression since some of this stuff would work for that as well. 

I have not decided on what to depict yet though I'm leaning towards early 1980s. Is there anything obvious that I should add or change on the lbe? I also have a og-107 m65 and woodland poncho liner though it is a 1991 contract. Could I use this pile cap or should I get a woodland one?

This is a work in progress and is a slow one since I've mainly been getting things as I find them cheap. Top picture is most of what I have currently, second picture is extras.unfortunately the mask does not have everything with it and the carrier is damaged.  

I’m getting old and falling apart at the seams. I managed to hurt myself making the bed this weekend. Fear not, no broken bones or blood loss. Just aggravated my  sciatica problems.  It’s a brand new IKEA bed for my Dear Daughter and hubby’s new apartment. I got the job of assembling it. I did most of it on my own. Me not being one of you folks who can strip and assemble a jeep blindfolded while standing on their head, I was quite proud of it when done. Until the backache started.  Gunji boy did a good job supervising me. Other than walking funny and groaning like a wounded bear when I sit down and get up, I’m feeling much better now 😁.   

We have different opinions, that‘s cool.  I always welcome other viewpoints - we just don’t agree.     I’m not going to play point / counterpoint, but there are oodles of “tribute” Raider stuff on eBay and elsewhere, so it’s not just PIR M42s.     Maybe you’d jump on this at a show, where I wouldn’t give it a second look.  To each their own.  

Here's a few of my pix lookof aircraft I managed to find from my time at Ft. Wainwright in 1972. The black and white images were taken during Exercise Jack Frost '72. The others are at an Armed Forces Day display in 1972. I have some others, but they are 35mm slides and I don't have a scanner yet to convert them. I also have some other prints to copy.  

I know this is an old thread, but I thought this may be an example of a Hickock liner? They were awarded a contract to make 240,000 liner bodies in 1942 but was cancelled in its entirety; how soon after awarding I can't find. This list is on the QM museum's website, if I can find the link again I'll post it.   Hickock did end up making headbands and nape bands for the liners but this cancelled contract may be a clue as to this liner's origin.
