WWII US Army IKE Jacket 8th Army Named + Dated Size 40R

A friend was cleaning out a house and came across these items. I did add some personal items with this private's name on, but I did destroy other personal papers to include his shot records. This Uniform jacket and cap are a classic U. Army M-1944/M-1950 Wool Field Jacket, universally known as the "Ike" Jacket.

The "Ike" Design: Commissioned by General Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II, this waist-length cropped wool jacket was favored by troops for its sharp look and comfort compared to longer service coats. Left Shoulder: Displays the First Army patch (featuring the black "A" with the red artillery color insert) In the U. Military, the left shoulder denotes a soldier's current assignment at the time the uniform was worn. Right Shoulder: This is a U. Army shoulder patch featuring a circular white patch with red design. This denotes the soldier's former wartime combat unit (combat service), identifying which deployment or campaign they fought with previously. Thank you for viewing my listing.
Please reach out to me directly with any questions you may have. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
