Heres a great WWII seabag grouping that I rescued from a pile of vintage clothing a few years ago. This sailor served aboard the USS Belle Isle (AG-73) from her commissioning until March 1946, when he transferred to the USS Herbert J. Thomas (DD-833), and was discharged in July 1946 according to the bedding receipt I found in the jumper pocket. No holes, but trousers are missing three buttons and have some damage to interior pockets. One flat dress blue cap and two white caps. Flat cap is named to this sailor from his boot camp time; one white cap is named to a different sailor (swapping clothing was common back then). White caps have some mud soiling from the vintage clothing pile they were in. Standard issue neckerchief (some small holes). Seabag with his USS Thomas info, probably for the train ride home in 1946. Souvenir USN pillow sham. Original separation center bedding receipt, found in jumper pocket. Also included is printout of a muster roll, and his Pennsylvania veterans bonus application from Ancestry. Item must be in original, unaltered condition.
