Jerry I agree . I picked the jacket up very cheap. Then a very good friend on this forum came across this great helmet and was very very kind to do a trade for it . Gary

Very nice Jerry. My Irish-American uncle was a 1st LT in the 306th INF Regt of the 77th Division and fougth in all the major 1918 campaigns and was gassed and shell-shocked so these items are very special for me.

Hi Gary; I'm still looking for a photo of my uncle George in uniform and am expecting a photo of him from his pre-WWI Vaudeville days. Here are his WWI draft registration and service records. Needless to say, after being gassed and shell-shocked he couldn't resume his Vaudeville career.
