When referring to fasteners, its the hardware used to secure the various parts of the leather chinstrap. I've attached a photo of one marked "UNITED CARR" on one of my lids.    Hayden

From the FB page, Medals Ribbons. Nice Medical officer's dress mess minis with Marche Internationale de Diekirch Medal as the last award.   

Not sure of the Ft Irwin reference but he retired as a CWO5 and is buried at Arlington and that takes a lot. Between my brother and I we have almost 60 years of service. I cannot memorialize him by name here right now but I am trying to organize my stuff between pass on to family and sell.................in time .....as i love my stuff

Hello McLenn2025 and thank you. The 2nd pic of the utility shirt actually goes with the dress jacket above it with the name tag Densford, The name tag is in the pocket of the utility shirt, I should have layed it on the shirt for reference. I actually have Charles F. Densford's West Point Howitzer yearbook from 1956 with a added bonus of Norman H. Schwarzkopf (General) at the same time. From what I've read Densford was an impressive soldier and of coarse Schwarzkopf without saying. The 3rd shirt was found alone with no information but a nice one. Thank you for your comment 

Some, in large quantities, were issued to Dutch Marine Brigade during the Indonesian War in 1946-1949. Here some photos from mid-late 1946. 

What rank was he, and when was he in? You must be proud of him. If you have a Pic of him it would be nice to see, if your willing to share it.

Yes and qualified to be buried at Arlington

Great to have good memories.  Did he retire from the military? 

The 2nd Division and the 822nd Division patches are undoubtedly WWII vintage. The 101st is what Mark Bando calls a "Type 10," and he says they started showing up at the end of WWII and were widely worn during the Vietnam war.   Just because a patch came from a surplus store doesn't make it a fake.   Allan
