You my friend are a wizard!!! This information tells the story behind this uniform which is so important not to lose its history, you have brought it together. Thank you for attaching the pdf . Thanks again

Hello, how would you fully clean and fully remove dog odors from this vest?  It smells of dog and was probably slept on or worse.  The vest doesn't really have any stains or blemish that I can see so it could have just collected the odor overtime.  I cleaned it in the sink with dawn dishwashing liquid by letting it soak for about a hour and then rubbing it in the water.  I put it on a towel and have let it air dry.  I looked at it when I got home and it is better but I can still smell the dog smell.  Is there anything I can do to clean it good and remove the smell?  Thanks John  

I also have his uniform.his hat dog tags and bracelet a letter telling him where and when to.report and a letter from. The local elks wishing him safe an speedy return  

Nice did you purchase the other two also

Yes, as a general, macro-level trend, using multiple bandoleers instead of full web gear became increasingly popular later in the war. It's also not uncommon to see marines using bandoleers to carry grenades.    In terms of marines in particular here are a few photos from the 1968 battle of Hue, chosen only because I happen to have them handy.  1/5 Marines, Don McCullin photo    C 1/5 Marines, photo by John Olson. Note the outline of M26 grenades in the left Marine's bandoleer, this was a fairly popular way of carrying them.   

This is one that I just bought last month...I've tried to hold myself to the star and stripes but this has stars and stripes too.   

There are far fewer flag collectors than say helmet collectors. There are many reasons but a big one is storage and display. I'll buy a great flag that can't be displayed due to its size so it goes into a storage tub with moth balls. I'm embarrassed to say how many tubs that I have.    Thanks for posting better pictures. I see a marking on one flag that it's a size 3 and made by Dettras Flags. What helps me is the associated paperwork that helps pinpoint WW2 era use. I have so many flags that I'm sure are WW2 but they were purchased by themselves at a yard sale. Probably WW2 but they could be used in 1956. You see the issue.    I think you have a nice set that I would try and keep all together. Last month I bought a similar flag, tattered, for $74. It's a size 4. 

No. The 550 sets of M56 Nylon LLBE that were field tested only consisted of these items, there was no BAR belt: They were distributed across all US army tactical units in Vietnam as well as a limited number to the US Navy, USMC, and Australian army.    They are unmarked except for the US stamp and their designation on the back. All of yours are from the limited procurement (fully production) LLCE (later redesignated M1967 LLCE)      The BAR belt is very interesting, it looks pretty well made, sorry I have no info on it.
