The jacket features a nice example of a hand applied 38th Infantry Division (Cyclone) patch on the left shoulder. The left arm also features a hand applied one wool backed metallic gold "tape" overseas chevron denoting six months of service in the theater of operations.
The right arm has a wool Signal Corps Staff Sergeant Patch. Very nice set of collar discs with U. Disc at right and Signal Corps disc at left. Complete with all original metal U. Army General Service Eagle buttons.
Has a tailor tag from New York dated August 6th, 1918. Condition of the Tunic is really nice overall.
Two on the back, with one near the top and the other near the bottom. One on the right sleeve near the very bottom. The fourth pinhole is on the shoulder patch. I have tried to point out all the spots I noticed. A nice example of a wool World War I A.
I have other uniforms listed and will be listing more WWI uniforms. The 38th Infantry Division (Cyclone) was organized 8/1917 from men from Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia at Camp Shelby, Mississippi.
During training at Camp Shelby a cyclone came thru their camp leveling all tents, hence the'CY' monogram on blue & red 3-cornered shield or spade. Like the other uniforms I have listed, this uniform is part of my forty year old collection that I will be thinning out. I have described the uniform to the best of my abilities. Please view all photos and read the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
