417th Regiment Combat Medic. Bronze Star and Purple Heart Medal Recipient

T/5 Cline enlisted in 1943 and spent the entire war as a combat medic in the 1st Battalion, 417th Regiment. He was wounded in action in March of 1945 and was captured at the same time. Please read the newspaper clipping about this incident and also the original telegram explaining his capture to his wife back in Ohio. This uniform grouping is 100% original down to Cline's enlistedman's dress shirt, hat, and tie. Note the Sterling Combat Medic Badge, the Wolf-Brown Ribbon Bars, and also the rarer "White-Bar" 76th Patch variation.
