Eighth Army Officers Coat
Article about: I was hoping maybe someone would be able to help me identify this coat. A couple months ago I picked up this patched Eighth Army officers coat with prior service in the Sixth Army. Unfortuna

I may be onto a thin lead. The branch insignia left a shadow on one lapel and looks to be medical. Given the direction of the pinholes in the shoulders it's also not a Lt. and one appears to have a faint shadow of a Cpt.
After pouring through what I could find online of Officer lists I think it might be a Dr. Don Jose Aubertine. All I can confirm is that he was a WW1 vet and served in the Dental Corps during WW2 and attained the rank of Captain. Unfortunately all I can find from the time is his "Old Man's Draft" registration card from 1942 which does not have a service number to match up to the laundry mark.
