These items were brought back by Lt. Thomas R. Marshall, G Co. 503 PRCT. He was from Clarence Center NY, just next to my old home town of Amherst. My brother obtained these for me, but I was not able to aquire his A2 flight jacket with the 503 patch. The pocket rank patch is the most interesting one I have and appears to be a design similar to designs seen on the vertical stabilizers of Japanese Army aircraft. It is plastic covered and very unusual. Same for the map pouch. It has a field expedient belt attachment made from Japanese cords as found on their parachute equipment! I dont know just where he obtained these, but it was said to be PI. Conrad Conr Attachments:
