Signal Corps Uniform (Advanced Section-Service of Supply) Guys, here is a uniform that I purchased, many years ago, from the family of the veteran. Thought you'd like to see. Regards, Hal
Re: Signal Corps Uniform (Advanced Section-Service of Supply) It's in great condition, a very nice set, particularly as you've got his sidecap as well as his tunic.
Re: Signal Corps Uniform (Advanced Section-Service of Supply) Thanks CMc,the family also gave me his name but no other info so not traceable. Best, halby CMc
Re: Signal Corps Uniform (Advanced Section-Service of Supply) Hal-
Neat set. Have you checked behind the sweatband on that OS cap? Sometimes they'd write their names on the inside of the sweatband. Also check the underside of the liner, along the bottom edge. Not that it would be a big deal. You've already got the name...
Have you checked Ancestry.com? There's also findagrave.com which might yield his headstone & in some cases, a little more info on the guy.

To be alone, to have your life in your own hands, to use your own skill, single-handed, against the enemy. It was like the lists of the Middle Ages, the only sphere in modern warfare where a man saw his adversary and faced him in mortal combat, the only sphere where there was still chivalry and honour. If you won, it was your own bravery and skill; if you lost, it was because you had met a better man
