I don't know about WWII but during the Viet Nam era and maybe later, If you were in Class As and were armed you wore bloused boots. This pretty much only happened for parades and formations which was probably a rare occasion during the war. You might check pictures of the many parades held at the end of the war. As an every day uniform I would say it did not happen.

Honestly I think all four may have been worn on the golf course, since three of them are made the same way, possibly by the same shop

DUKW vs NISSAN: 1-0 Last weekend a friend test drove his as new WW2 DUKW after a 15 year(!!) restoration and sadly was hit by a woman in a van... Appears the lady driver had been drinking and cut the corner and crashed head on into the amphibious vehicle.... Only the van driver was slightly wounded and although no real substantial damage was done to the DUKW, it remains so sad this happened after such a long and meticulous job... Some dents in the bow, still not an easy to repair.... The owner has actually rebuilt the entire hull from scratch as the original one was completely rotted after decades of swimming in salt water... I wonder what the lady thought when the bow crushed her windshield...    

It might be worth joining the CMP forum.  Many discussions on refinishing and recommendations on people who may be able to do it

Hi Hink 441,   Here is a photo of one in my collection from Rhode Island's Providence Shipyard.  The shipyard, in less than two years, built 63 ships for the war effort. The shipyard built Liberty, Frigate and Combat Cargo ships.  I don't have a photo of the liner but it is exactly the same as yours but does not have a chin strap.

Thanks for posting. That's the size I would expect for a sweetheart pin/brooch. Here's an example of what I was thinking might attach:  

Yep.  The current AN PRC 163 from Harris that squad leaders have is under 3 lbs, provided digital secure coms, is GPS connected and will transmit line of sight over 10 clicks or connect to satellites.   The “data phone” introduced in 2013 is pretty high speed too.  US Army Data Phone

I am reproducing these containers for reenactors.  Can you please tell me what is printed in white on the lower half of the container?  Thanks.

That turned out really nice
