Re: My Great Uncles World War 2 Uniform
Jeeze you are very lucky to have this set with provenance
Flaming bomb disk is Ordnance Department. The other disk is Quartermaster Corps
The shirt looks to be the Flannel shirt used in the ETO. The jacket is an "Ike" jacket initially designed to be used with the M43 uniform set

Thanks so much he won a sliver star and 2 bronze stars but we have no clue where they went he had them before he died but some family member took it when he died and the man who we got the uniform said the reason he took it because it was worth money so i have a feeling who ever has it i think is going to sell it. . And do you know what the star on the european campaign ribbon means.

The star means that he served in a major campaign in the ETO eg.. D day. These can have multiple stars for multiple campaigns

Does the shirt look similar to this one? If so you can use it for a combat display with all of your gear
