Thank you very much.

Thank you kindly Matt. I do love the shape of this second one!. And the pommel! 👍

Ive read that the atomic bomb crews wore the red variable density goggles to protect their eyes from the light of the blast...... Look at what they use now for the same purpose..... That entire white piece holding the lenses is the goggle !!  

Is there a name to the. uniform or a combat patch?  The uniform itself  should date late 1954 to the early 1960s.  Date likely in right inside pocket. The colonel was in the service during the 2 years prior to Pearl Harbor. I doubt this is his last set of ribbons as he likely received a LOM or at least a MSM at retirement.

You are close, it is the US Navy M-592 back pad kit. What you have there is the V-44 machete, the true V-44, that was a standard component for the M-592. The machete was not issued separately. However, in the spring of 1945 when M-592 back pad kits were being disassembled for other reasons the machete was placed into stock. The scabbard is interesting, locally made and even though says 'Okinawa' could very well be post war which is my inclination. 

do you have a 2nd lt. H.H. Harvey listed? I dont have a first name.

Thank you for your comments. I will do some forum searches to see examples of a US Navy air medal and DFC to better understand why the ones in case are not correct.  I guess the two USN/USMC cases and the letter are most connected to Frank Dumary and the other medals are not so I can now separate without concerns.

Represents a Wagoner. In general, drives a wagon of some sort. PFC equivalent, I, think. The "H" collar disk is for Headquarters. A brigade or higher headquarters, I think, again.

I arranged another page in the album and incorporated a Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club patch along with period Vanguard Naval Aviator's wings. 

Was this bolo-machete issued to U.S. Navy fighter pilots in the Pacific Theater as a part of the Jungle Emergency Parachute Back Pad M-562? Many thanks.
