Description
World War I & II Unique Collection of World War II Items Including a Full Uniform Worn by a Corporal in the 3rd Army -- Lot Includes Badges, Pins & a Personal Photo Owned by the Soldier Collection of official-issue items owned by a World War II soldier, including a full uniform, badges and pins. Fascinating lot comprises: (1) olive green wool uniform consisting of jacket, pants and suspenders. The jacket contains a badge indicating that it was worn by a Corporal in the 3rd Army division; an additional badge in black and green with the letter ''T'' indicates the uniform was owned by a fourth grade technician in the U.S. army. Also affixed is the famous ''ugly duckling'' badge, which was given to members of the Army who received an honorable discharge. Many soldiers continued to wear their uniforms upon their return home due to the clothing shortage, and the badge distinguished them from active duty soldiers.
