WW2 US Infantryman Uniform - D-day: 1942 - 1943 dated

I think you recommended that book to me before, over at USM forum. I found a cheap copy of it, so I went ahead and picked it up.

That would probably be the standard wool M1937 enlisted man's shirt.

I strongly recommend you check out this book, it is about clothing & equipment used & worn during D-Day by US landing troops:

I've got a pair of mustard brown wool trousers dated 1943 and the belt coming. I'll have to find the correct wool shirt, which I'm not sure what I need to be looking for there.

I may be able to help you with the shirt. I'm in the process of selling off my collection of U.S. uniforms and equipment and still have a couple wool shirts as well as a flannel shirt with the gas flap still intact.

If interested, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I can send you photos. Ant thing else you looking for?

Where in MO are you? I'm in O'Fallon.

I have nearly the same M-1941 field jacket in my collection ... another size ...
