      Hi guys, I have a question. Recently I found fragments of temporary gravemarks again. However, there is very little info to be found for these two, and I hope someone can help me. I have a paid account on Ancestry, but actually find very little there. The same goes for Family Search, and also very little on the National Archives Catalog. The Morning Reports mostly cover before they were in Europe. I have much more info on other pictures, sometimes even where they were killed in action, but even with them, surviving relatives are hard to find, or it is already a great-great-great-nephew who likely has never heard of this soldier. It concerns PIZZORNO JOHN J 39394813 Born in 1916 California and KROHN JOSEPH F 42133389 Year of Birth 1920 New York Both soldiers were first buried in Margraten and later reburied in the USA. I hope someone is willing to help me. Regards

      Thanks for that. I tried googling The Dreadnaught, but didn’t find anything hat or uniform related. Nothing else on the label had any hits for me either.  As always, I appreciate your looking in here.  mikie

      Did you get the paperwork in May that you mentioned in the first post?

      Probably not in Vietnam. I believe by the. There was a totally different field/work uniform by the 1960’s.  It is fairly common to see WWII-made HBT jackets with removed or intact “Army” and name tapes that were used post Korean War

      Definitely before August 21, 1959 when Hawaii became the 50th State.  The label shows Honolulu, T.H., the T.H. being the Territory of Hawaii.  The Dreadnaught label specifically refers to a famous, heavy-duty naval canvas/twill used to make the iconic white "Dixie cup" caps or the traditional "flat hats" of that era. During the major Pacific Fleet expansion most notably when the U.S. Navy homeported a massive portion of the fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1940—manufacturers like Dreadnaught maintained prominent military outfitting operations in both Southern California (Long Beach/San Pedro) and Hawaii to supply sailors directly.  So, somewhere between 1940 and August 21, 1959 is my guess.
