What kind of uniform and gear would my grandfather have been issued during WWII?
Hey everyone, WWII enthusiast here! I was wondering if I could get some help identifying what my grandfather might all be wearing here in this image in terms of uniform and gear pieces?
I'd primarily like to know what my grandfather may be wearing in this old granny photo of him at 20 years old back in 1945, so that way I can find the same uniform and equipment pieces for myself to wear during WWII reenactments.
For context, this image was taken of my grandfather in April of 1945 on the day he received his medals from General McAuliffe.
My grandfather was a Technician of the 5th Grade U.S. Army medic apart of the 103rd "Cactus" Division, 409th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Battalion, Company K "Kommandos", 2nd Platoon.
He not only served as apart of the Southern Invasion/Liberation of France (Operatiom Dragoon), but he also served in the Battle of Bulge.
