Greetings, I'm looking for help locating pictures of USMC Brigadier General Harry B. Liversedge (Harry the Horse) wearing a M422a USN leather flight jacket. I believe I may have a jacket belonging to the General but would love to find a picture of him wearing it. I bought a size 44 wwii M422a leather flight jacket in the early 1990s at a military show in the San Francisco Bay area. On the chest is a very nicely done theater gold bullion patch featuring a winged pair of boots and under it "Harry the Horse, the Flying Grunt". Considering the jacket is of a size that would fit the General, he went to college and commanded a post war marine unit in SF area, and his home town was a few hours away, I thought this may be a possibility. There are no rank on the jacket or other noticable ID. The jacket is not currently at my location and will try to post picture when I gain access to the jacket. Would love to hear from those who may have any insight on the possibility the jacket belonged to the General. Thanks for your help advance. -

I would send them the broken ones too, Let them decide whether they want them or not. They may have meaning they may not. -

Leslie Spahn was my paternal grandfather and I am researching his time during the war. My dad said he never talked about his time in service so he does have much information for me. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was when i saw your post. I would love to hear about any information you could share any knowledge you might have. I know it’s a long shot since this lost is several years old, but I had to give it a try. Thank you in advance. -

Hello, I was reading about the AEF being issued the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) in July of 1918. Obviously most people think of WW2 with the BAR but the first time the BAR saw combat action was in September 1918 with the 79th Division. I have been unable to find any photographs during the war of soldiers with their BARs. Do any exist? I'd love to look upon them if found and sent in. Thanks! -

Wild flag, thanks for showing. I'm sure the swastika was colored with the black pen used to sign the flag.
