Uniform grouping from an enlisted man who served with the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII (late war). This grouping includes:

- An enlisted man 'Ike' dress jacket with blue oval (infantry) and pin back jump wings (Unmarked). 82nd Airborne Division shoulder sleeve insignia, TEC 4th grade sleeve rank insignia, presidential unit insignia, ruptured duck patch and US / Infantry EM collar discs. It also comes with a French and Belgian Croix de Guerre fourragere. The veteran's laundry number is present in the color area. Size 36R.

- A side cap with faded blue infantry piping, leather sweatband and rayon lining. An original airborne glider infantry patch is sewn on the left side. The same laundry number is stamped inside the cap.

- A khaki tan dress shirt with same infantry blue oval as sewn the jacket, corporal sleeve ranks insignia and 82nd Airborne Division (No Airborne tab) sewn on the left shoulder. The shirt and jacket do show similar laundry numbers stamped in the same area (Lower right lining / interior), indicating that both garment have been laundered together several times.

- A single dog tag with full name, ASN, T44-43 and beaded chain.

As for provenance, this grouping came from a local Colorado collector who recently passed away. Tucked inside the jacket's pocket was a handwritten note, which I believe was written by the veteran himself, that includes important dates, and describing a combat jump during operation Varsity, along with an address in Colorado Springs, CO. I was able to confirm that this veteran resided in Colorado Springs, CO in the late 1980s / 1990s. He passed in 2015 and is buried in Illinois. His grave indicates that he was a Corporal, and served during WWII as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division.

-Pour ce qui est de la provenance, cet ensemble faisait parti de la collection d'un collectionneur local récemment décédé. Une note écrite a la main, et qui semble avoir été écrite par le vétéran lui-même, a été placée dans la poche de poitrine. Cette note inclus plusieurs dates et un court récit d'un saut de combat pendant l'opération Varsity, ainsi qu'une adresse a Colorado Springs, Colorado. J'ai pu confirmer que ce vétéran avait bien vécu a Colorado Springs, Colorado dans les années 1980 et 1990. Celui est décédé en 2015 et est enterré dans l'Illinois. Sa tombe indique qu'il était un caporal ayant servit au sein de la 82eme Division Aéroportée.
