US Navy Important Full Dress Uniform Attributed to Admiral Edward Clifford Kalbfus, Who was a member of the Board tasked with the investigation into the Pearl Harbour attack of December 1941. Comprising: Cocked hat of black beaver skin, edged with a wide band of gold lace, to the front a black silk rosette and a loop of gold bullion lace. The interior with leather sweatband and pleated lining ... Tailcoat of black cloth, with gold lace rank to the cuff, indicating Admiral. To the shoulders, box pattern epaulettes, the strap with a Naval anchor and within the crescent three silver bullion stars. To the left breast his set of miniature medals ... Matching Overalls ... Sword belt , complete with gilt metal clasp. The overall condition is good with some dulling to the gold bullion. The hat and epaulettes are contained in their original brown leather case. Admiral Edward “Old Dutch” Clifford Kalbfus was born in 1877 and was commissioned into the US Navy in 1901 following two years sea service. During the Great War he received his first command, the transport ship Pocahontas, which ferried troops to Europe as part of the Cruiser-Transport Force. On May 2, 1918, Pocahontas was attacked by a German submarine that bombarded her with 5.9-inch shells. Kalbfus ordered return fire, but the submarine was outside the range of Pocahontas` guns, so the transport set an evasive zigzag course, then fled at full speed, setting a record 16.2 knots (30.0 km/h) that allowed Pocahontas to outrun the submarine twenty minutes after the attack began. For saving the ship Kalbfus was awarded the Navy Cross. In 1918 he was given command of the Battleship Iowa, then joined the Staff of Destroyer Commanders. In 1930 he was promoted to Rear Admiral and from 1938 commander of the Battle Force of the United States Fleet a post he held until 1939. On the 1st December 1941, reaching retirement age he transferred to the retired list, but was quickly recalled for service following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. He became a member of the General Board of the Navy, a small panel of senior advisors to the Secretary of the Navy and in 1944 he became a board member of the Pearl Harbour Court of Inquiry. He once more retired in 1946 and died at the age of 76 in 1954.
