Description
This is an original WWI U.S. Army enlisted man's uniform, consisting of an M1912 service tunic manufactured by the Philadelphia Depot of the Quartermaster Corps and breeches. Both pieces are constructed of matching cotton. The service tunic retains its original "U.S." and Army Signal Corps collar discs. Its interior is twice named to an "A. McCoy". A search of the National Archives unfortunately reveals too many results to be conclusive. The breeches' manufacturer's label has faded beyond legibility; however, they too are marked with the initials of another soldier, "HWK". They feature metal buttons marked "U.S. ARMY". No size labels could be located but please refer to the Measurements section for more details.
Provenance
Personal Collection of Chelius Carter
Condition Report
For being well over one hundred years old, this uniform is in very good, used condition. All of the tunic's original rimmed buttons and hooks remain intact. Both pieces exhibit minor stains throughout, and the breeches are missing their laces. There is a small tear near the wearer's right armpit.
