Shirt, Cotton, Khaki, 50th Signal Bn., XVIII Airborne Corps, Battle of the Bulge, Harzé

Nice genuine WWII US Army khaki cotton shirt, introduced in November 1941 for the summer service dress. This type was modified in 1942 with anti-gas flaps being added behind the front buttons and on the cuffs.

The present shirt retains its original XVIII Airborne Corps shoulder sleeve insignia and the 50th Signal Battalion breast oval; a pair of Corporal rank stripes was once removed from the sleeves. Laundry number T0461 has been inked inside several times. General Ridgway's XVIII Airborne Corps was located in Harzé, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge.

Good overall condition; complete with all buttons.
