WWII US Uniforms & Headgear
Uniforms distinguished the men and women in the service. From stateside training to the time for mustering back to civilian life, uniforms were worn for different climates and purposes. While "dress" uniforms with patches and insignia are still fairly common, everyday outwear such as jackets and boots were often worn out and discarded. Below is a cross section representing the variety of combat and dress uniforms worn during WWII.
