Item Description
Original Items. One-of-a-Kind. This is a great uniform & medal grouping to Staff Sergeant Wilham Gilbert Haines, Company D, 28th Infantry Regiment, 8th Infantry Division, who served as an Army Platoon sergeant during 10 months of intense combat in Europe, according to his obituary.
The uniform includes his jacket with DUIs for the 28th Infantry Regiment on his collars as well as US & Infantry Company D Collar discs, a Presidential unit citation above the right breast pocket, and a 3 place ribbon bar with the Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, and European African Middle Eastern Campaign medal with one campaign star. Above this is his Combat Infantryman Badge, and below this is his Rifle Marksmanship badge. He wears the French fourragère on his left shoulder, with an 8th Infantry Division patch on his left shoulder and Staff Sergeant chevrons stitched to both sleeves. There are two service stripes on his left cuff for a year overseas. There’s a size tag in the jacket, 34L. His laundry number, H-1013 is written in the jacket.
His oversea’s cap has the DUI for the 28th Infantry Regiment and blue piping for infantry, with his laundry number H-1013 written on the sweatband.
The uniform comes with a Boxed WWII Purple Heart, unengraved & unnumbered. It came with the uniform but we are not certain if it is his.
Lastly there are two printed sheets of his Find-a-Grave page, and his obituary with a small photograph of him.
This is a fantastic Identified WWII 8th ID Grouping, ready for further research and display!
