The piece is made of khaki poplin, with the felt on the collar and the bottom of the jacket in very good condition. The felt at the bottom of the sleeves is of a different model, likely the result of a period repair. The zippers are functional and made by Talon. A name tag reading ,Fraser, is found at the bottom of the zipper lining. The insignia of the 3rd US Army is originally sewn onto the right sleeve. The 36-month overseas service stripes are sewn at the bottom of the left sleeve. The interior is lined with khaki wool, and the size label is illegible. Some visible repairs and stains are present throughout the jacket. A khaki wool sleeveless sweater, without visible markings, is included, with some stains and moth holes. Also included is a Message Book M-210-A Signal Corps US Army, incomplete, with handwritten annotations on some pages, and a patch of the 1st US Army. These items were gifted by General Harvey Fraser to historian William C. Cavanagh. The original letter confirming the donation of these items is included with the lot, as well as other correspondence from General Fraser to Cavanagh. William C. Cavanagh is an Anglo-Belgian historian, a recognized expert on the Battle of the Bulge, whose publications are authoritative in the field. This is an important historical artifact directly from the veteran, with his story attached, placing the item within that context. The 51st Engineer Combat Battalion played a crucial role in the Battle of the Bulge, where it was awarded the US Presidential Citation and the French Croix de Guerre. Colonel Fraser, commanding the 51st Engineer Combat Battalion, along with Captain Sam Schuber and Major Robert Yates, blew up the first bridge in the town of Trois Ponts in front of the first tanks of Peiper’s column, preventing them from crossing there. A very interesting publication called Holding the Line develops the actions of this battalion and the fundamental role of its commander, Harvey Fraser, who became a brigadier general after the war. This study can be found at the following link, https,//www.publications.usace.army.mil/portals/76/publications/engineerpamphlets/ep_870-1-38.pdf.

The design of this patch is highly symbolic and is frequently used by both soldiers and civilians to boost morale and commemorate two significant events that took place during the full-scale war in Ukraine. It tells the story of two separate incidents that occurred in 2022.On the patch, we can see the Russian flagship “Moskva” sinking in the spring of 2022, a major event for the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The design is associated with the phrase “Русскій карабль – іди нахуй” (Russian ship – go f**k yourself). This phrase originated from an event on February 24, 2022, when a Ukrainian border guard said this in response to a Russian warship's demand for surrender. The incident occurred during the attack on Snake Island amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.The image of the “Moskva” and the phrase “go f**k yourself” has been widely used on patches, mugs, t-shirts, bags, and wherever possible, becoming extremely popular not only in Ukraine.Useful links:Business Insider – The Attack on MoskvaWikipedia – Russkij wojennyj korabl, idi nachujOverall condition as shown in the photos.Dimensions: 8 cm in diameter
